Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, here’s the deal – you’re gonna need some chicken (3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped up), a couple of zucchini and yellow squash (2-3 of each, sliced thick and quartered, which sounds fancy but it’s really just chopping stuff), and about 12 oz of button mushrooms (just wash and quarter those bad boys).

Then grab your salt & pepper (obviously), minced garlic (3 tbsp because yes), olive oil (⅓ cup, and a bit more for drizzling), soy sauce (¼ to ⅓ cup for that umami goodness), rice vinegar (1.5 tbsp), sesame oil (1 tbsp for that nutty vibe), and some garlic powder (1 tsp, because can you ever have too much garlic?).

Easy peasy, right?

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, story time! So, one Saturday night, I had a craving for hibachi. Like, I was seriously scrolling through delivery apps and I just couldn’t commit. Then I remembered I had this air fryer collecting dust (oops). I threw together whatever I had in my fridge, and boom! I had the yummiest hibachi chicken and veggies, and I felt like a total rockstar!

Plus, the smell! Like, my neighbors probably thought I was hosting a hibachi feast or something. And the best part? It takes just 30 minutes! Perfect for those nights when you just can’t even.

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

And look at this beauty! The colors, the glisten—ugh, I can’t even!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, listen up! The secret is the drizzle of olive oil before cooking. It makes everything crispy and golden and just… *chef’s kiss*. Seriously, don’t skip it.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Don’t overcrowd the air fryer: Give those veggies room to breathe! Otherwise, they’ll end up steaming instead of getting that crunchy goodness.
– Check the chicken: Cook for 15 mins but start checking at 12. You don’t wanna overdo it! Nobody likes dry chicken.
– Season generously: I’m all about flavor, so don’t skimp on those seasonings.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you somehow have leftovers (which is a miracle), just pop them in an airtight container and they’ll hang out in the fridge for about 3 days. Just reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to get that crunch back.
