Hibachi Chicken Fried Rice (Printable Version)

Tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and savory teriyaki combine with golden rice for a bold, Japanese-American dish.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
02 - 3 large eggs

→ Vegetables

03 - 1 yellow onion, diced
04 - 2 medium zucchinis, diced
05 - 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, diced

→ Grain

06 - 3 cups uncooked white rice

→ Seasonings and Sauces

07 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
08 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce
09 - 1 cup teriyaki baste
10 - Black pepper, to taste

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Prepare the white rice according to package instructions. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours to reduce moisture for optimal frying texture.
02 - Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat. Melt 1/4 cup (half stick) of butter, then add diced onion, zucchini, and mushrooms. Toss to coat vegetables in butter and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, then push to one side of the griddle.
03 - Add chilled rice to the griddle, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Add remaining 1/4 cup butter and allow it to melt while stirring to warm the rice evenly.
04 - Crack three eggs onto the griddle and scramble until fully cooked. Mix scrambled eggs thoroughly into the warmed rice.
05 - Season the rice mixture with soy sauce and black pepper. Stir to combine ingredients well and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in cooked vegetables to blend flavors.
06 - On the opposite side of the griddle, add diced chicken breasts. Begin cooking, then pour teriyaki baste over chicken. Continue cooking for 7 to 8 minutes until chicken is fully cooked through.
07 - Mix cooked chicken with the rice and vegetable mixture on the griddle. Toss thoroughly to combine and serve immediately.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure rice is fully chilled before cooking to achieve ideal texture for fried rice.
02 - Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze is recommended for its thick consistency and coating properties.
03 - If a griddle is unavailable, a large skillet can be substituted for cooking.
