Hibachi Chicken Recipe
The hibachi chicken recipe brings restaurant-style flavor straight to your stovetop with minimal effort. Juicy, tender chicken cooked over high heat with soy sauce, sesame oil, and butter creates a savory, umami-rich dish that tastes just like your favorite Japanese steakhouse entrée.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-size chunks and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
- Once hot, add the chicken and sear for 2–3 minutes before flipping.
- Add soy sauce and stir until caramelized.
- Pour in sesame oil and stir, then melt in the butter.
- Mix everything well and serve immediately with hibachi sides.
Notes
Swap chicken breast for thighs for more flavor. Use coconut aminos for a low-sodium version. Ghee works as a butter substitute. Add garlic or lemon for extra depth.
