Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup broccoli florets, bite-sized
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions:
- Whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, 1 tbsp oil, garlic powder, ginger, and brown sugar in a bowl. Toss in the cubed chicken and let it sit for 5–10 minutes while you chop the vegetables. Note: Don't let it sit too long or the lemon juice will change the meat texture.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or Blackstone griddle over high heat. Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil.
- Add the Hibachi Chicken in a single layer. Let it sear undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until a mahogany crust forms.
- Toss the chicken and cook until the internal temperature hits 165°F (74°C). Remove the meat from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same pan, add the diced onions and broccoli. Sauté for 3 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and zucchini to the pan. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until edges are charred but centers remain crisp.
- Lower the heat to medium. Return the cooked Hibachi Chicken to the pan with the vegetables.
- Add the butter and minced garlic. Toss everything rapidly for 60–90 seconds until the butter is foamy and aromatic.
- Remove from heat immediately to prevent the garlic from burning.
