Bring the Japanese steakhouse experience straight to your backyard! This mouth-watering Hibachi Chicken is cooked to perfection alongside tender-crisp vegetables and savory fried rice. Thanks to the Blackstone griddle's multiple heat zones, you can cook this entire feast at the exact same time.
🥘 Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 3 cups Mixed vegetables (chopped zucchini, onions, and broccoli florets)
- 2 cups Cooked white rice (day-old and chilled)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil or sesame oil (divided, for cooking)
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter (divided)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce (low sodium preferred, divided)
- 1 tbsp Teriyaki sauce (for the chicken)
- 2 Large eggs (beaten, for the rice)
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
👨🍳 Instructions
- Prep all your ingredients before turning on the grill. Cut the chicken and vegetables, and have your sauces, butter, eggs, and chilled rice ready to go by the griddle.
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to create three distinct cooking zones. Set one side to medium-high heat (for chicken), the center to medium (for vegetables), and the other side to low (for rice).
- Drizzle a little oil on the medium-high zone and add the chicken pieces. Season with black pepper. Let the chicken sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a nice crust, then toss to cook evenly.
- At the same time, drizzle oil on the medium zone and add your mixed vegetables. Toss them frequently until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- On the low-heat zone, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them quickly. Add the chilled rice on top of the eggs, toss together, and let it warm up.
- Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter on a clear spot on the griddle and mix in the minced garlic to create a quick garlic butter. Divide this mixture evenly over the chicken, the vegetables, and the rice, tossing each zone well.
- Finally, drizzle the soy sauce over the rice and vegetables, and the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Toss everything one last time on their respective zones to coat evenly. Serve immediately right off the griddle!
