High-Protein Saucy Gochujang Chicken

High-Protein Saucy Gochujang Chicken


  • Author: Kyrié the Foodié
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Description

A sticky, spicy-sweet high-protein chicken dish coated in a glossy gochujang sauce that’s bold, comforting, and perfect for meal prep.

Many people have different sauce preferences. Know that this dish is quite sauce-heavy! If you want it to have less sauce, I recommend decreasing the bone broth and cornstarch by half.


Ingredients

Units Scale
For the Chicken:
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp oil (for cooking)
  • 3 green onions
For the Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup bone broth
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1/2 tbsp gochugaru (adjust to spice preference)
  • 3/4 tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together bone broth, rice vinegar, gochujang, gochugaru, honey, soy sauce, and cornstarch until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 – 8 minutes.
  3. While your chicken is cooking, chop your green onions into two-inch pieces.
  4. Pour the sauce directly into the pan with the chicken. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Toss in your green onions.
  5. Let simmer for 2 – 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze that coats the chicken.
  6. Serve hot over rice or vegetables, and garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
