Hibachi Chicken
A delightful dish that brings the vibrant tastes of Japanese grilling into your kitchen with tender, juicy chicken pieces coated in flavorful sauces.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon butter adds richness
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced for aromatic flavor
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil (optional) providing a nutty depth
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce for that essential umami
- 1.5 tablespoons teriyaki sauce/mirin balancing sweetness with savoriness
- Pepper to taste enhances the flavor profile
Instructions
Preparation
- Combine the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and a dash of pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat until melted and bubbling.
- Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, around 30 seconds.
Cooking
- Add chicken pieces to the skillet, tossing to coat with butter and garlic.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, stirring well to coat each piece.
- Stir-fry the mixture for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and the chicken to cook through.
- If using, drizzle sesame oil on top just before serving.
Serving
- Serve hot alongside hibachi rice, noodles, or grilled vegetables.
Notes
Cut chicken pieces uniformly for even cooking. Use high-quality soy and teriyaki sauces for best flavor. Add vegetables for nutrition and color, and consider ginger or chili flakes for extra kick.
