Ingredients
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
Soy sauce or coconut aminos
Garlic, minced
Ginger, grated
Erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
Sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs or breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and prepare your other ingredients for easy access during the cooking process.
In a large skillet or wok, heat a drizzle of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear it on both sides until it develops a golden-brown crust, about 3-4 minutes per side.
In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and your preferred keto-friendly sweetener. Pour this flavorful sauce over the seared chicken, making sure to coat all the pieces evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 10-12 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Once the Spicy Korean Gochujang Chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. Serve this delicious dish immediately, and enjoy the bold, spicy-sweet flavors that will have your taste buds dancing!
