I love a good chicken stir-fry, and coming up with something other than the go-to teriyaki can be challenging. Kids like teriyaki because of it’s sweet taste of course (who can blame them?) but if you’re looking for something a little different, with less sugar but tons of flavour, Hibachi Chicken may be the way to go.
The habachi is actually a traditional Japanese cooking device, but Hibachi Chicken generally refers to the sauce used which is a mixture of soy sauce and ginger. I love the mustard sauce that I make as a side with this recipe for some added zing!
Hibachi Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch chunks
- ½ white onion, sliced
- 8 white mushrooms, stems removed and cut into halves or quarters
- 1 large zucchini, cut into short strips
- 1 carrot, cut into short strips
- 2 tbsp. avocado oil
- 1 tbsp. butter or margarine
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Place the cubed chicken in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the oil and when hot add chicken to the skillet and spread evenly to sear evenly on all sides and until cooked through, tossing occasionally, about 7-8 minutes.
- When chicken is cooked through, use a slotted spoon to transfer onto a plate. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and melt. Then add the onions, carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook until slightly tender about 4 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken back into the skillet, then the sesame seeds. Stir and saute for 2 more minutes.
- Serve with rice for added yumminess, but it's also great on its own if you want a low carb meal.
- Top with the mustard sauce!

- pinch of salt
Instructions

I have to try your recipe, glad it’s made with chicken thighs as breast can be a bit dry sometimes. The mustard sauce makes a nice change from the usual soya sauce.
