Braised Gochujang +
Garlic Chicken with Broccoli
Week night braising – you’ve got this! It’s really simple.
Mix together chicken bone broth, gochujang paste, garlic, ginger, honey and coconut aminos. Lather your chicken up and let the oven slowly cook your tender chicken to perfection.
I like to add fresh broccoli towards the end – it soaks up some of the sauce while staying crunchy and bright green. Adding extra scallions to the end is a must!
I love my cast iron skillet
I have both seasoned cast iron pans and the enameled cast iron pans. I love them both – but for different reasons.
For this dish I used my Lodge Enamel Cast Iron Skillet. It’s a 3.g quart Casserole pan with a lid. It’s heavy and with the helpful loop handles on either side, it’s easy to pull out of the oven and serve. Cleaning it is a breeze and the heat is consistent and even throughout.
I have this one in gray but I’m eyeing the desert sage color.
