Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red, green, or yellow)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and rice vinegar. Mix until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, stirring to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

- Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Sauté for about 8–10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Toss in the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets. Cook for an additional 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.
- Serve: Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of gochujang to control the heat level.
