Begin by preparing the chicken. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
In a bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, mirin, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the chicken strips and marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
Cut the zucchini into thin slices and set aside. Peel the carrot and julienne into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin wedges.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and coat lightly with non-fat cooking spray.
Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken strips, arranging them in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Add a little more cooking spray to the same skillet if needed, then add the onions, carrots, and zucchini. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, tossing everything together gently.
Transfer your low-fat hibachi chicken and vegetables to a serving plate.
Garnish with sliced scallions before serving. Enjoy the flavors of hibachi chicken without the guilt of extra fat!
