Lately, I’ve really been missing our dinners on the Blackstone, since it went into winter storage. Needless to say, I’ve been counting down the days until spring so I can finally use it again because I love cooking on it so much.
So, to get me through, I’ve been cooking some of our favorite Blackstone griddle recipes indoors, like the Blackstone Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry that I shared last summer, which had become one of our go-to dinners all summer. Along with chicken hibachi (that I will be sure to share once the weather warms up) and Blackstone Kielbasa and Zucchini Recipe.
However, this time I decided to swap out the beef for chicken in the teriyaki stir-fry, and it came out so delicious. Plus, it was super easy to throw together with just a bag of frozen stir-fry veggies, a bag of frozen precooked grilled chicken strips, and some teriyaki sauce served over white rice. It’s the ultimate shortcut meal when you need dinner on the table fast.
