Blackstone Griddle Hibachi Chicken Dinner

Preheat griddle on low or medium low.

Start by preparing the fried rice recipe on the griddle.

While fried rice is cooking, in a medium bowl whisk together the sauce ingredients for the chicken including soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, honey, and brown sugar. Set to the side.

When fried rice is almost done, move it to the cooler side of the griddle to make room to cook the other ingredients. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the hotter zone of the griddle and spread it around a bit with your spatula. Add the zucchini and onions to the butter and oil and begin to sauté. Add garlic powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper to the vegetables and mix to combine. Move zucchini and onions to the side of the griddle and continue to sauté until vegetables are tender.

Add about 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the hotter zone on the griddle and spread it around a bit with your spatula. Add the cubed chicken breast to the oiled griddle, making sure that the pieces are separated so that each is in contact with the griddle surface to get a nice sear.

Allow the chicken pieces to cook on the first side untouched for about 2 minutes. Then add about 2 tablespoons of butter to the chicken and toss to combine. Continue to sauté the chicken until almost all the way cooked through.

Add the hibachi sauce that you prepared earlier to the chicken on the griddle and toss to combine. Continue to sauté the chicken until it is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened. This will happen quickly (about 2 minutes).

Transfer all of the cooked Japanese steakhouse dishes (fried rice, teriyaki chicken, and zucchini and onions) to a large plate and serve immediately. Top with your favorite hibachi style sauces like yum yum sauce or siracha.
