Description

A hearty dish of tender chicken glazed with a sweet and spicy honey gochujang marinade, perfect for cozy meals.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup gochujang
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a zip-top plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached.
  4. Rest and Garnish: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
  5. Serve: Enjoy with steamed rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad.

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate the chicken longer, up to two hours. Avoid overcooking to maintain juiciness.
