Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional vegetables: 1 zucchini (sliced), 1 onion (sliced), 1 cup mushrooms, 1 cup broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and cut into evenly sized cubes.
  2. Preheat a Blackstone griddle or large skillet to medium-high heat (375–400°F) for 8–10 minutes.
  3. Add vegetable oil and spread evenly across the cooking surface.
  4. Place the chicken in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to develop light browning.
  5. Stir and continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Reduce heat slightly and add butter and minced garlic. Stir gently to prevent burning.
  7. Pour soy sauce evenly over the chicken and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
  8. Toss thoroughly and cook for another 1–2 minutes until coated and glossy.
  9. If using vegetables, sauté them alongside the chicken until tender-crisp.
  10. Remove from heat, let rest for 3–5 minutes, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the cooking surface to prevent steaming.
  • Always cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
  • Add garlic after the chicken has mostly cooked to avoid burning.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to better control salt levels.
  • Let the chicken rest briefly before serving to retain juices.
