This is a delicious way to prepare chicken. The chilies, mushrooms and Korean gochujang add a wonderful depth of flavor that takes braised chicken to a whole new level. It's a great main dish. The chicken is cooked in a pan sauce, so it's somewhat like a stew in that it can be served over (or along side) steamed white rice to make the pan sauce go a long way.
