Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the cubed chicken in the pan and cook until the pieces are browned and fully cooked through, with no pink remaining.
- As the chicken cooks, make the teriyaki sauce by combining soy sauce, water, honey, light brown sugar, rice vinegar, optional sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch in a medium mixing bowl and whisking thoroughly.

Notes
- Marinate the cubed chicken in teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking for a more flavorful dish.
- Adjust the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce to your liking by adding more or less honey.
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the finished dish for a nutty flavor, and squeeze lime juice before garnishing with green onions for a touch of freshness.
