Directions

  1. 1

    Mix together ingredients for hibachi chicken in a small bowl, then pour over chicken. Cook chicken with sauce in a large skillet over med-high heat for 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally until fully cooked through. Remove from pan and wipe pan clean.

    Meanwhile, cook rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop according to package directions. Alternatively, make rice up to 2 days before. Mix ingredients for mustard sauce together at the same time.

  3. 3

    After chicken is finished cooking, add olive oil to the pan, then add vegetables and season with salt & pepper and soy sauce, cooking for 5 minutes or so until veggies are tender-crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Melt butter in the same pan, then saute garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add in rice and soy sauce, cooking for 5 minutes until rice is heated through. Make a hole in the center of rice and crack in egg, scrambling until egg is just set. Toss rice and stir in green onions, then remove from heat and plate rice along with chicken and vegetables.

  5. 5

    Serve chicken, rice and vegetables with mustard sauce on the side, then serve and enjoy!

About this Recipe

Craving that irresistible sizzle and flavor of your favorite Japanese steakhouse hibachi chicken, but from the comfort of your own kitchen? This Perfect Hibachi Chicken recipe brings the beloved Benihana-style experience straight to your home, promising authentic tastes that rival any restaurant, all with ingredients you can easily find.

What sets this recipe apart is its commitment to delivering a complete, restaurant-quality meal. You get not just perfectly seasoned hibachi chicken, but also savory, garlic-infused fried rice and tender-crisp sautéed vegetables, all brought together by a homemade tangy and creamy yum yum sauce. The thoughtful blend of soy, hoisin, ginger, and garlic ensures the diced chicken is bursting with umami-rich flavor, while the simple yet delicious fried rice and fresh veggie medley complete an experience that truly mimics your favorite Japanese grill.

Prepare your palate for a delightful symphony of textures and tastes. You'll enjoy succulent, diced chicken, marinated and cooked to tender perfection, alongside fluffy, flavorful fried rice studded with scrambled egg and vibrant green onions. The accompanying sautéed carrots, mushrooms, onions, and zucchini offer a fresh, vibrant, and slightly crisp counterpoint to the richer components. Each bite delivers a harmonious blend of savory and satisfying notes, especially when generously drizzled with the signature homemade yum yum sauce. This essential sauce adds a unique sweet, tangy, and creamy kick, elevating the entire dish and truly making it reminiscent of that authentic Japanese steakhouse flavor.

Feel free to get creative with your hibachi experience and tailor it to your preferences. While chicken breasts are the star here, you could easily substitute them with shrimp or even firm tofu for a different protein option, adjusting cooking times as needed. Don't hesitate to experiment with the vegetables; broccoli florets, crisp snap peas, or colorful bell peppers would make excellent additions to the sautéed medley, enhancing both flavor and visual appeal. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be added to the chicken marinade for an extra spicy kick.

This Perfect Hibachi Chicken is ideal for a fun family dinner, a casual gathering with friends, or whenever you're in the mood for an impressive yet approachable Japanese-inspired meal that feels like a special treat. Serve it hot, ensuring each plate gets a generous portion of chicken, fried rice, and vegetables, with plenty of that irresistible creamy yum yum sauce on the side for dipping!
