Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Gochujang (adjust for spice preference)
- 2 cups Shredded Green and Red Cabbage
- 1 cup Julienned Carrot
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt as an alternative)
- 4 Brioche or Potato Sandwich Buns
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add chicken thighs, coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).
- Prepare the slaw: In another bowl, combine shredded cabbage and julienned carrots. In a separate small bowl, mix mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), sugar, and additional vinegar if desired. Toss with the cabbage mixture and set aside.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with butter. Remove chicken from marinade (letting excess drip off) and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through (165°F). Let rest before slicing.
- Assemble the sandwich: Toast buns in the same skillet until golden brown. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun; add sliced chicken followed by a generous portion of slaw. Top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
