Ingredients
Gochujang Sauce
- 4 tablespoons Gochujang paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon crushed garlic cloves or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Chicken
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced into ¾ inch pieces (you could also use chicken thighs, if you prefer)
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together all of the ingredients for the gochujang sauce. Set it aside.
- Toss the ¾ pieces of chicken with the cornstarch, salt and pepper in a medium bowl, or large zipper bag.
- Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook 5 minutes. Stir occasionally, so that the chicken is cooked on all sides.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and becomes a glaze on the chicken.
- Remove from the heat and optionally garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes
- To make this recipe gluten free, use tamari, or gluten-free soy sauce. All other ingredients in this recipe are naturally gluten free.
- The gochujang sauce can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
- If you’re preparing rice or vegetables to serve with the chicken, be sure to prepare them before you start making the gochujang chicken. Once the chicken is pan fried, you want to serve it immediately, so it’s hot and fresh!
