Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables carrots, zucchini, and broccoli, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to make the sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the onion and mixed vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the vegetables and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
- Add butter and the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For a complete hibachi-style meal, serve this chicken with steamed rice and a side of yum yum sauce. You can also add mushrooms or bean sprouts for extra texture and nutrients. For a spicier version, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
