Description

This easy Air Fryer Chicken Hibachi recipe delivers the flavors of a Japanese steakhouse at home, with juicy chicken, fresh vegetables, and a savory homemade sauce. Perfectly cooked in just 25 minutes and ideal for a quick, healthy meal with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1 cup chicken breast, cubed, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 1 cup zucchini, cubed
  • 1 cup squash, cubed
  • 1 cup carrot, sliced

For the Sauce

  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Brown sugar, optional (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce – In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and brown sugar (if using) until well combined.
  2. Coat the Chicken and Vegetables – Add the cubed chicken breast, zucchini, squash, and carrots to a large bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients and toss until everything is thoroughly coated.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer – Place the coated chicken and vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure not to overcrowd or stack the ingredients for even cooking.
  4. Air Fry – Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 15-20 minutes. Pause every 5 minutes to shake the basket or stir for even cooking.
  5. Finish and Serve – When the chicken and vegetables are cooked through and slightly browned, remove them from the air fryer. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately, optionally over rice or cauliflower rice.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken and vegetables in the sauce for 15 minutes before air frying.
  • You can substitute chicken breast with chicken thigh for a juicier result.
  • Brown sugar is optional for a slightly sweet flavor; omit for a lower sugar option.
  • This recipe can be doubled, but air fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
