Paired with stir-fried vegetables and rice, this quick and easy dish brings the delicious hibachi experience right into your home for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

For the chicken marinade:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated

  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

  • Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

For the stir-fry vegetables (optional):

  • 1 cup sliced zucchini

  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)

  • 1/2 cup sliced onions

  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for stir-frying)

Instructions

  • Prepare the chicken marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, garlic, ginger, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until the honey or sugar dissolves.

  • Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and stir to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to develop.

  • Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add a bit of olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

  • Prepare the stir-fry vegetables (optional): While the chicken is cooking, heat sesame oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced vegetables and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Season with soy sauce and stir to combine.

  • Serve: Once the chicken is done, plate it with the stir-fried vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and color. Serve with steamed or fried rice for a complete hibachi-inspired meal.

Notes

For a spicier version, add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the marinade.Substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version.Add hibachi-style noodles as an additional side or swap the rice for a heartier option.Make the dish sweeter by increasing the honey or brown sugar for a caramelized finish.
