Hibachi chicken fried rice (Printer-Friendly)

Savory chicken, sautéed veggies, and fluffy rice tossed with teriyaki for quick, satisfying flavor.

# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
02 - 3 large eggs

→ Vegetables

03 - 1 cup yellow onion, diced
04 - 1 cup zucchini, diced
05 - 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, sliced

→ Grains

06 - 4 cups cooked long-grain white rice, chilled overnight

→ Fats and Oils

07 - ½ cup unsalted butter

→ Seasonings and Sauces

08 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce, preferably low sodium
09 - 4 tablespoons teriyaki baste
10 - Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Cook long-grain white rice according to package instructions. Spread rice on a tray and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to ensure it is well chilled.
02 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add ¼ cup of unsalted butter. Once melted, add diced onion, zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until vegetables soften and begin to brown. Move vegetables to the side of the cooking surface.
03 - Add chilled rice to the center of the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Spread evenly and add remaining ¼ cup of butter over the rice. Allow butter to melt and the rice to fry for a few minutes to develop slight crispness.
04 - Crack eggs directly onto the cooking surface next to the rice. Quickly scramble until fully set and no longer glossy. Gently fold the scrambled eggs into the rice to combine evenly.
05 - Drizzle soy sauce and add freshly cracked black pepper over the rice mixture. Toss and stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes to incorporate flavors and allow slight color development. Fold sautéed vegetables back into the rice mixture.
06 - Clear an area on the skillet and add diced chicken breasts. Sear for about 4 minutes, then pour teriyaki baste over the chicken. Stir well and continue cooking for another 4 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and coated with sauce.
07 - Mix cooked chicken thoroughly with the rice and vegetable mixture. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately while hot.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use chilled rice made at least several hours prior to achieve optimal fried rice texture and prevent clumping.
02 - Two spatulas aid in flipping and mixing ingredients efficiently.
