Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Step: Heat a large skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and sesame oil, allowing them to heat until shimmering.
- Step: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer and sear without moving for 2-3 minutes to develop a golden crust.
- Step: Stir and continue cooking the chicken for another 3-4 minutes until it is almost cooked through.
- Step: Add the butter, garlic, and soy sauce. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and glazed in the sauce.
- Step: If using the dipping sauce, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sugar, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and water until smooth. Serve on the side.
Notes
For extra juicy results, let the chicken rest briefly before slicing and cooking. This dish is best served hot off the skillet. Pair it with hibachi-style fried rice, grilled zucchini, or steamed broccoli for a complete meal.
