Instructions

FIRST STEP: PREPARE THE CHICKEN

Season the Chicken: Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning into the chicken, making sure it’s evenly coated.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
Rest the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the chicken tender.
Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips. Set aside.

SECOND STEP: COOK THE VEGETABLES

Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sesame oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Season the Vegetables: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

THIRD STEP: MAKE THE SAUCE

Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, and cornstarch. Stir everything together until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Cook the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.

FOURTH STEP: ASSEMBLE THE BOWL

Layer the Rice: Start by placing a generous scoop of cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl.
Add the Vegetables and Chicken: Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the rice, followed by a generous helping of sautéed vegetables.
Drizzle the Sauce: Pour the warm sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Be sure to cover everything with the savory sauce.
Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Hibachi Chicken Bowl immediately while the ingredients are warm and fresh.
