Ingredients

For the Chicken

• 2 tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon minced ginger
• 3 tablespoons honey

Ingredient Notes

1. Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs also work great for added juiciness.

2. Soy Sauce: Use low-sodium soy sauce if you want to control the salt level.

4. Vegetables: Feel free to add mushrooms, bell peppers, or carrots for extra color and crunch.

5. Yum Yum Sauce: This classic hibachi sauce pairs perfectly with the chicken and rice.
