Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts), diced
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
Sauces & Garnishes
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- Optional: green onions, sesame seeds for garnish
- Yum yum sauce or ginger sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat to ensure it is hot enough for searing the chicken and stir-frying the vegetables.
- Prep Ingredients: In separate bowls, prepare your diced chicken and sliced vegetables for easy access during cooking.
- Heat Oils: Add sesame oil and unsalted butter to the griddle, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a flavorful cooking surface.
- Cook Chicken: Place the diced chicken on one side of the griddle and sear it undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes to develop a golden crust before flipping.
- Season and Finish Chicken: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Continue cooking for 7 to 8 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Stir-fry Vegetables: On the other side of the griddle, stir-fry the sliced vegetables until they become tender yet retain a slight crispness, preserving their texture.
- Combine and Sauce: Mix the cooked chicken and vegetables together on the griddle. Drizzle soy sauce and teriyaki sauce over the mixture for a savory glaze.
- Toss and Cook: Toss everything together thoroughly and cook for an additional 2 minutes to blend flavors and heat through.
- Serve: Serve the hibachi chicken hot with rice or noodles on the side. Garnish with optional green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
- Add Sauces: Offer yum yum sauce or ginger sauce on the side to complement the dish with extra dipping options.
Notes
- If chicken breasts are used, monitor cooking time as they may cook faster and can dry out.
- Feel free to swap or add other favorite vegetables such as bell peppers or snap peas for added color and crunch.
- Adjust the amount of soy and teriyaki sauce to taste, especially for lower sodium preferences.
- Yum yum sauce can be made at home or purchased pre-made for convenience.
- Make sure the griddle is properly preheated to prevent chicken and vegetables from sticking.
