Classic Hibachi Chicken with Fried Rice and Vegetables

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a splash of cooking oil and swirl to coat the pan.
  2. Add the sliced chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Push the chicken to one side of the pan and add the beaten eggs to the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them together with the chicken.
  4. Add the cooked rice, mixed vegetables, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the pan. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Serve the hibachi chicken and fried rice hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
