Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to create a slurry.
