Instructions
Add the cooking oil to a non-stick skillet or frying pan that is preheated to medium high heat. *400 degrees F (204 degrees C) if using an electric skillet.
Place chicken and sliced mushrooms in the heated skillet, cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is done and no pink is showing on the pieces. Stir occasionally while cooking the chicken and mushrooms. *The mushrooms can be added in the last few minutes, if you prefer to have your mushrooms less cooked.
Once the chicken is cooked through, add the butter, lemon juice, and sesame seeds. Stir to combine ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
Benihana uses safflower oil to prepare its hibachi recipes, but any cooking oil with a high smoke point will work. Canola oil, avocado oil, sunflower oil, or peanut oil are all great choices.
This recipe only calls for 2 sliced mushrooms per serving, but you can certainly add more if you like!
