Ingredients

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced or grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup water

Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by whisking together the soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger in a mixing bowl.
- Marinate the chicken by adding it to the marinade and ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
- Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until cooked through.
- Thicken the sauce by mixing cornstarch with water until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet and stir for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
