Sweet & Spicy Gochujang Chicken: Your New High-Protein Meal Prep Go-To

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Set aside.
2. 2

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame seeds, and water/broth until well combined.
3. 3

   Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and mostly cooked through.
4. 4

   Return all seared chicken to the pan. Pour the prepared gochujang sauce over the chicken. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low.
5. 5

   Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and beautifully coats the chicken pieces.
6. 6

   Serve immediately over cooked rice with the sliced cucumbers on the side. Garnish with extra sesame seeds, cilantro, and green onions if desired.
