    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water.
    Pour the mixture into the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. Step 4: Combine

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss until fully coated in the honey garlic sauce.
    Cook for another minute.
