Description

This Spicy Korean Chicken recipe features tender chicken breast marinated in a flavorful mix of sauces and spices, served with rice and broccoli.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g Chicken Breast
  • 45 ml Vegetable Oil
  • 30 ml Sriracha
  • 12 g Cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 2 cm Ginger, minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 serving Steamed Rice
  • 1 serving Tenderstem Broccoli
  • 1 serving Dry Roasted Peanuts, chopped
  • 1 serving Lime Wedges
  • 1 serving Green Onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, Sriracha, cornstarch, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and chili powder. Coat the chicken well and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
  2. While the chicken marinates, cook rice according to package instructions and steam tenderstem broccoli until bright green and tender, keeping it warm until serving.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and sauté for 5-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring it’s no longer pink inside.
  4. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and simmer for about 2 minutes until it thickens into a glossy sauce that clings beautifully to the chicken.
  5. Plate the chicken over a bed of rice, generously top with chopped peanuts and sliced green onions, add lime wedges, and enjoy with the tenderstem broccoli on the side.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs, shrimp, or tofu can be used instead of chicken breast for variety.
  • Adjust the level of Sriracha to your spice preference.
  • Quinoa can be substituted for rice as a healthier alternative.
