Chili Paste Chicken


  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Gluten-Free

Description

Savor tender chicken pieces enveloped in a spicy gochujang glaze, creating a harmonious blend of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by crafting your marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and honey or sugar if desired. Whisk until mixed well.
  2. Heat your skillet over medium heat. A properly heated skillet will sear the chicken beautifully.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to your hot skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour your gochujang mixture over the chicken. Stir to coat every morsel thoroughly.
  5. Allow the chicken to cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and tender.
  6. Finally, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a crispy version, consider using an air fryer. Marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
