Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch cubes)

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, honey, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken cubes to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.

Allow to cool completely before covering and refrigerating.
