HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.

02

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

03

Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

04

Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.

05

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 0.5 cup of chicken broth.

06

Pour the sauce over the potatoes in the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until potatoes are nearly tender.

07

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir everything together, cover, and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are fully tender. Serve immediately.

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs, but adjust cooking time to prevent drying out. Sweet potatoes can replace Yukon Gold potatoes for a different flavor profile. For a vegetarian option, use firm tofu or mushrooms instead of chicken.
