A quick and easy hibachi-style chicken and fried rice recipe cooked on a Blackstone griddle or skillet, delivering smoky, savory, and slightly sweet flavors perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp mirin (or substitute with a pinch of sugar and water)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, preferably day-old
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or grapeseed oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • Green onions, sliced for garnish
  • Optional: sliced mushrooms or bell peppers
  • Optional: chili flakes or sriracha

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by combining chicken pieces with soy sauce, mirin, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and black pepper. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil on the Blackstone or skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and carrots and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  3. Add thawed peas and cook for another minute. Push veggies to one side of the grill.
  4. Pour beaten eggs into the cleared space and scramble quickly for about 2 minutes. Mix eggs with the veggies.
  5. Add cold jasmine rice, breaking up clumps, and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until evenly coated and mixed with eggs and veggies.
  6. Pour 2 tablespoons soy sauce and sprinkle garlic powder over the rice. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. Push fried rice to the side and add marinated chicken in a single layer. Let sear without moving for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and caramelized.
  8. Mix chicken and fried rice together on the griddle. Adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or sesame oil if needed.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

Use day-old jasmine rice for best texture. Preheat your cooking surface well to get a good sear on the chicken. Avoid overcrowding the grill to prevent steaming. Toasted sesame oil is potent; add sparingly. Leftovers taste better the next day as flavors meld. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Optional additions include mushrooms, bell peppers, chili flakes, or sriracha for heat.
