Description
A restaurant-style hibachi dish made in the air fryer for a healthier, faster meal. Tender chicken and crisp veggies are tossed in a garlic-soy marinade and glaze, delivering a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and umami flavors.
Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), trimmed and cut into strips
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mixed bell peppers (red and green), bite-sized
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced on bias
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp hibachi sauce (soy + butter + garlic)
Optional: paprika, black pepper, or grated ginger for added spice or depth
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C)
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, and optional spices to create marinade
Submerge chicken strips in marinade; coat evenly
Air fry chicken in batches for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through
Meanwhile, toss bell peppers and zucchini with remaining marinade
Air fry vegetables in batches for 5 minutes, flipping halfway
Return cooked chicken to air fryer, add vegetables, and drizzle with hibachi sauce
Cook 2-3 minutes until glazed and topped with sesame seeds (optional)
Notes
Test store-bought hibachi sauce for sugar/seasoning balance
For extra char, broil 1-2 minutes after air frying
Substitute shiitake mushrooms or snap peas for bell peppers
Use sesame oil as a finishing drizzle for authenticity
