Do you dream of that sizzling, flavorful hibachi style chicken from your favorite Japanese restaurant? I sure do! Perfectly cooked chicken mixed with delicious vegetables always hits the spot.

Hibachi chicken is a Japanese-inspired dish featuring bite-sized chicken pieces cooked with a mix of vegetables on a hot griddle or skillet. The combination of soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and garlic gives it a rich and savory flavor.

Why I love this recipe

• it’s a quick and easy way to bring the Hibachi experience home, you can make it on a Blackstone griddle or in a large skillet if you don’t have a flat top grill
• it is great for meal prep, make a big batch and enjoy all week
• the combination of soy sauce and teriyaki creates an irresistible glaze
• it’s versatile – swap in your favorite veggies or protein!

I also love Chicken Vesuvio and Szechuan Chicken. They are packed with flavors and easy to make.

Ingredients

Step by step

1. Combine the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce in a small bowl, then set aside.

3. Add the vegetables (zucchini, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms) and half of the sauce mixture to the skillet. Sauté, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate, cover, and set aside.

1. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the chicken and the remaining sauce mixture. Cook, stirring often, until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
2. Serve the stir-fried chicken and veggies over rice. Top with sesame seeds if desired.

Variations

You can switch things up by adding different vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas. Switch the protein for hibachi steak or hibachi shrimp instead of chicken for a seafood twist.

Another fun variation is to add a splash of sriracha or chili flakes for a spicy kick.

Serving suggestions

Looking for ways to serve your hibachi chicken? Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Pair it with white rice, fried rice, or noodles for a hearty meal.

Storage

When you’re ready to reheat, simply warm the chicken and vegetables in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. You can also microwave it for a quick meal, just be sure to cover it to retain moisture.
