Ingredients

For the sauce:

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup ketchup
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger

For the chicken:

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1" chunks

Serve over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
