Shredded Gochujang Chicken Sandwich
Make this flavorful shredded gochujang chicken sandwich when you’re craving a unique fusion of Korean and American flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 serving Korean slow cooker gochujang chicken
- 2 English muffins
- 2 tablespoons sriracha aioli
- 2 slices pepper jack cheese
- 2 pieces Romaine lettuce
Slaw
- ½ cup shredded red cabbage
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ¼ medium lime juiced
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- First, make the Korean slow cooker gochujang chicken ahead of time. This will take about 4 and a half hours.
- Next, make the slaw. Combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl. Toss gently until well combined and set aside.
- Toast an English muffin until it’s lightly golden brown.
- Assemble the sandwich. Spread sriracha aioli on the bottom half of the English muffin (about one tablespoon per sandwich), then add the gochujang chicken. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken onto the sandwich so it doesn’t become too saucy, which will result in a soggy sandwich. Top each sandwich with a slice of pepper jack cheese, lettuce, and slaw.
Notes
Korean gochujang chicken: This recipe is made with our Korean slow cooker gochujang chicken. While you’ll need to prepare it in advance, the sandwich itself only takes a few minutes to put together. We recommend making the slow cooker chicken over the weekend for meal prep, and then using it throughout the week for recipes like this sandwich and our Korean gochujang chicken tostadas!
Sriracha aioli: We recommend making your own sriracha aioli from scratch! It’s so easy (only 2 ingredients!) and tastes so delicious on this sandwich. Check out our sriracha aioli recipe here for more details.
