Hibachi Chicken Recipe (Japanese restaurant)
Hibachi style chicken is a Japanese steakhouse favorite! Tender chicken smothered in a sticky sweet sauce and served with roasted vegetables and fried rice for the ultimate Asian dinner.
Ingredients
- ½ portion of hibachi sauce
- 2 pounds chicken breast or chicken thighs, cubed 1-inch
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil divided
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Start by making ½ a portion of the hibachi sauce and set it aside.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- Add oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Once the skillet and oil are hot, add the chicken and cook until it’s golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet. Cover with foil to keep warm and set aside.
- Add the butter and cook until it melts. Then, pour the sauce into the skillet. Bring the sauce to a light boil.
- Once the sauce is bubbling, turn the heat down, add the chicken back in and cook until reheated.
- Serve and enjoy, friends.
Notes
Store: The chicken can be meal-prepped ahead of time and stored refrigerated for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Serve: Serve the chicken with roasted or sauteed vegetables, a side of fried rice (leave the chicken out, as the hibachi chicken adds protein to the dish), and with a side of yum yum sauce for dipping.
