Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

For the Gochujang Cream Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon gochujang
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey

For the Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine sliced chicken breast with soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well to coat and let it marinate for 30 minutes. This allows the chicken to absorb the savory flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook thoroughly, stirring occasionally until the chicken is no longer pink inside and has a light golden sear.
  3. Prepare the Gochujang Cream Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together gochujang, heavy cream, and honey until smooth. This sauce provides a creamy, spicy, and slightly sweet complement to the chicken.
  4. Cook the Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp, preserving their vibrant color and texture.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls. Top with the cooked chicken and stir-fried vegetables. Drizzle generously with the Gochujang cream sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the bowls for an added burst of freshness and nutty flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use jasmine or short-grain rice for authentic texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang in the sauce depending on your preferred spice level.
  • For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or Greek yogurt.
  • To save time, cook chicken and vegetables simultaneously in separate pans.
  • Vegetables can be customized to your liking; snap peas or mushrooms also work well.
