Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 medium Assorted bell peppers
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. Place the cubes in a shallow bowl and season with lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by slicing the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into thin strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and dried oregano to create the hibachi sauce.
Heat a flat iron skillet or large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil, then add the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the vegetables and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the hibachi sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top, and serve the Mediterranean Diet Chicken Hibachi immediately.
