Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced

Sauces & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Garnish

  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken.
  2. Cook chicken: Add sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  3. Sauté aromatics: Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet with the chicken, sautéing for about one minute until fragrant and aromatic.
  4. Cook vegetables: Add sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet, stirring frequently and cooking for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  5. Prepare sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey to combine the spicy, savory, and sweet ingredients into a smooth sauce.
  6. Add sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet, stirring to coat all ingredients evenly.
  7. Simmer: Continue cooking the stir fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and cling to the meat and veggies.
  8. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, then garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving for extra flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs instead of breast for a juicier dish.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang to control the spice level to your taste.
  • Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
  • For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
