1

Start by slicing the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly and become tender.

2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3

Add the sliced chicken to the pan and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and starts to brown.

4

Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the pan. Stir everything together and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

5

In a small bowl, mix together the gochujang, soy sauce, and honey until well combined. Add this sauce to the pan and stir to coat all the chicken and vegetables evenly.

6

Allow the mixture to simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

7

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
