Easy Blackstone Chicken:On a cutting board, using a sharp knife cut the chicken breast down the middle, into 2 pieces. Slice each piece into ribbons, and then cut each ribbon into small cubes. (See the photo) Repeat with the remaining chicken breast. Place all of the chicken cubes into a small bowl. For the best chicken, season with 3 tablespoons of roasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of garlic puree, salt, pepper, and white pepper. Toss well. Reserve.

Veggies & Rice:Pour veggies into small bowls for this quick cooking method. Do not steam the rice according to the package instructions, but open each package and set the cold rice near the griddle.

Note: Jasmine or Basmati Rice in 8.5 oz. package bags are great for this recipe, or you may use day-old rice saved from another recipe in an airtight container, as long as it's white rice. Brown rice could be used for those looking to add more fiber to their diet, but it won't have the fluffy consistency of your favorite hibachi restaurant. Brown rice is chewier.

Homemade Garlic Butter:We made our garlic butter from 2 sticks or 1 cup of butter, but only ended up using a little over half of it. (I feel better knowing I have more if I want to season more!)

Make the garlic butter by combining the softened butter in a small bowl, 3 tablespoons garlic puree, salt, black pepper, and white pepper. Mash with a fork until combined. You can make your own fresh garlic puree by putting 12 garlic cloves through a garlic press. About 4 fresh garlic cloves make 1 Tablespoon of puree. You may want a little extra garlic puree for seasoning the rice.

1. Gather the sesame oil and soy sauce, garlic butter, and seasonings near the cooking area. All liquid and dry seasonings are an estimate as we don’t measure liquids when cooking on the Blackstone. Just shake and eyeball it! You’ll get the hang of it. Bring lots of tasting spoons to season to taste.

2. Always start with a clean Blackstone Griddle by cleaning and scraping. Turn the griddle on and turn all burners to low. Wipe the griddle clean with a paper towel and coat with a thin layer of your favorite oil. The roasted sesame oil is great thing for this.

3. On the left side of the griddle place about a 1/4 c. dollop of garlic butter and pour out the marinated chicken mixture.

4. In the middle place another dollop of garlic butter and pour out the diced onion. Season both with salt and pepper and griddle with the spatula. After 1 minute, add the julienned carrot to the onion, add the green onion, and 1 tablespoon fresh garlic puree. Toss well. Cook 3-4 minutes while continuing to step 5.

5. Meanwhile, on the right side of the griddle shake out about 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and a large dollop of garlic butter, and spread that out with the spatula. Place the rice on top and toss it around with the spatula, coating the rice well with butter and oil. (Remember rice cant really fry unless it is coated in fat.)

6. At this point, season all 3 cooking zones well with soy sauce. Using the griddle spatula, toss well.

Check to make sure the diced chicken is cooked through and flavorful. You can season with more soy sauce or garlic butter if needed. You may chose to up the temperature under the chicken to medium high heat if it needs it.

7. Once the chicken is juicy, flavorful, and cooked through, begin combining the chicken, cooked vegetables, and rice. Toss well. Add the frozen peas and toss.

8. The last step is to fry the 3 eggs in a tablespoon of butter. We scoot the rice to the back of the griddle to act as a barrier in case the runny liquid eggs run backward. If your Blackstone is not perfectly level, just make sure the beaten eggs are in a well, protected by the fried rice. Scramble them, season with salt and pepper, and combine them with the fried rice.

You can now griddle the fried rice as you wish. You may raise the temperature to medium heat if you like to let the kernels of rice get some nice searing in the soy sauce. Taste once more for seasoning and squeeze the lemon juice onto the rice for a final pop of acidity. This is a chinese restaurant trick to bringing out the most flavor. Toss well.

9. Garnish with sesame seeds and diced green onion. Transfer to a large baking sheet for serving.
