A quick and flavorful Hibachi Chicken recipe featuring tender bite-sized chicken pieces cooked in a buttery garlic sauce with sesame oil and soy sauce, perfect for a delicious homemade hibachi-style meal served with fried rice and vegetables.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 Pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ¼ Teaspoon salt
  • ½ Teaspoon black pepper

Cooking

  • 1 Tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 Cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 Teaspoons soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Season the bite-sized chicken pieces evenly with salt and black pepper, then set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Heat the skillet: Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot, preparing for searing the chicken.
  3. Cook the chicken: Add the cooking oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted and shimmering, add the chicken pieces. Cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and fully cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat: Lower the stove heat to medium to avoid burning when adding the remaining ingredients.
  5. Add flavorings: Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, minced garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Mix well to coat all the chicken pieces evenly.
  6. Simmer briefly: Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes so the garlic softens and the flavors meld beautifully.
  7. Serve immediately: Plate the hibachi chicken hot, pairing it perfectly with freshly cooked fried rice and hibachi-style vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Cut the chicken into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • You can substitute low sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content.
  • Serve with steamed or stir-fried vegetables to enhance the meal.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
