Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt, to taste

• 2 teaspoons gochujang

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Directions

1. Prep the Chicken

   Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and flatten them evenly with a meat mallet.

2. Season the Chicken

   Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt to taste.

3. Make the Glaze

   In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth.

4. Cook the Chicken

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear the first side until the chicken is about halfway cooked through. Flip and cook the second side until the chicken is about ¾ cooked.

5. Glaze the Chicken

   Pour the glaze into the pan and spoon it over the chicken as it cooks. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly.
