Hibachi Chicken with Fried Rice is a fast, flavorful Japanese-inspired dish featuring juicy, garlic-butter chicken paired with savory, vegetable-packed fried rice. It’s a satisfying, one-pan meal that brings restaurant-style flavor home in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • For the hibachi chicken:
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, diced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tbsp lemon juice or teriyaki sauce
  • For the fried rice:
  • 3 cups cooked and cooled rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, diced
  • 1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Optional: 1 clove garlic or 1 tsp grated ginger

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add diced onion and carrots; sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  3. Push veggies to one side of the pan, crack in the eggs, scramble until fully cooked, then mix with the veggies.
  4. Add peas and stir in cooked rice. Drizzle soy sauce and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until heated through. Stir in green onions. Set aside.
  5. In a separate skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Add garlic, soy sauce, and butter to the pan. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and chicken is coated. Add lemon juice or teriyaki if using.
  7. Serve hibachi chicken over or beside the fried rice. Garnish with sesame seeds or extra green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for best fried rice texture.
  • Substitute shrimp, steak, or tofu for chicken.
  • Add extra veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers.
  • Serve with yum yum sauce or sriracha for extra flavor.
  • Double the recipe by cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
