Hibachi is delicious. Point blank. Without a flat top grill at home, I have to improvise with a skillet. Cook the rice. Cook the chicken and vegetables. Season it and add sauce. Boom. You’ve got homemade hibachi. Ingredients 1-1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces 1 large zucchini or 2 small,…
Chicken with Summer Veggies and Garlic Butter Sauce
