Description
A delicious and spicy Korean BBQ chicken rice bowl that combines tender chicken thighs with a flavorful marinade, served over rice and topped with fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cup steamed broccoli (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- To serve, place a scoop of cooked rice in a bowl, top with sliced chicken, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots. Drizzle with extra sauce from the skillet and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños on top before serving.
- You can also substitute the chicken thighs with tofu for a vegetarian option.
