Warm & Comforting Gochujang Chicken and Rice | Weeknight Wonders | Food52

Nothing brings comfort like chicken and rice, no matter the country of origin. In this recipe, Hana Asbrink turns boneless skinless chicken thighs into a weeknight-friendly meal that cooks up under the broiler in less than 15 minutes. The chicken is marinated in a gochujang-yogurt mixture, which also serves as the base of the sauce. Serve with fluffy basmati rice, lettuce, and tomatoes. GET THE RECIPE ►► https://f52.co/3mnqGf0
