Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Marinade
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Gochujang Cream Sauce
- 1 tablespoon gochujang
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon honey
Veggies and Rice
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine sliced chicken breast with soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned on the outside.
- Prepare the Gochujang Cream Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together gochujang, heavy cream, and honey until the mixture is smooth and creamy, balancing the heat and sweetness.
- Stir-fry the Vegetables: Using the same pan, add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they become tender-crisp but still vibrant in color.
- Assemble the Bowls: Place cooked rice into serving bowls, top with cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle generously with the gochujang cream sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken longer (up to 2 hours) for deeper flavor.
- Use any vegetables of your choice if preferred, such as snap peas or mushrooms.
- Adjust the amount of gochujang in the sauce to control the spice level.
- Cook rice ahead of time or use leftover rice for convenience.
- For a lighter sauce, substitute half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
