Braised Chicken With Gochujang image

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 chicken breasts
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
2 shallots, sliced
1/2 tablespoon ginger
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 poblano, sliced
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon gochujang
1/4 cup sake or dry white wine
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cilantro, minced

Steps:

  • Pat chicken pieces dry. Heat a heavy 3 1/2-quart sauté pan or casserole. If your pan is seasoned cast-iron or nonstick you will not need the oil. Otherwise add oil to pan and sear chicken on high heat until golden brown. Transfer chicken from pan to a platter. There should be enough fat from the chicken in the pan to continue the recipe, otherwise add a little oil.
  • Add shallots, ginger, garlic and chiles to pan and sauté on low until the shallots are barely starting to color. Stir in cumin. Add mushrooms and a sprinkling of salt and cook until mushrooms have softened. Stir gochujang into the sake and pour into the pan. Stir. Add vinegar. Add more salt if needed.
  • Place chicken in pan, skin side up, basting each piece with sauce as you add it. Cover pan and cook on very low 30 minutes. Serve directly from pan or transfer to a serving platter. Toss cilantro on top before serving.
