Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 4 cups cooked rice white or brown
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cucumber slices
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. Begin preparing your Korean BBQ Chicken Bowls.
  2. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, rice vinegar, black pepper, and gochujang in a bowl.
  3. Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag. Pour in the marinade, then seal the bag and massage to coat the chicken well. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from the marinade. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (reach an internal temperature of 165°F).
  5. While the chicken cooks, wash and slice the carrots, broccoli, and cucumbers.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into bite-sized pieces. In serving bowls, add a base of cooked rice, then top with the sliced chicken and arranged vegetables.
  7. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over each bowl. Add fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the incredible combination of flavors in each bowl.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've definitely used chicken breast when that's all I had on hand, but honestly, the thighs really hold onto that incredible marinade flavor and stay so much juicier.
