Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1–1.5 inch chunks

1/4 cup soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar or lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar or lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until combined.
