Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast Tender protein source; substitute with thigh for more flavor.
For the Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Gochujang Key ingredient for spice and depth; substitute with chili paste and sugar mix if unavailable.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Adds umami flavor; use tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Enhances flavor with nuttiness; toasted sesame oil is preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Balances the spice; substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
For the Vegetables
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper Adds sweetness and color; alternate with zucchini or snap peas.
  • 1 medium Onion Contributes sweetness and texture; any variety works.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced; adds aromatic flavor; fresh garlic is recommended for best results.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Minced; provides a warm spice note; ground ginger could be used but is less potent.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Carefully add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and minced ginger. Sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Toss in the sliced bell pepper and onion. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. In a bowl, mix together gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey until smooth. Pour over the sautéed chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
  6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything evenly.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
