Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
- ¼ cup honey

Instructions
Cook the chicken:
- Place the chicken onto a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, cube the chicken into 1-inch pieces.

Cook the veggies:
- Heat the remaining oil in the skillet and add the veggies. Cook for 5 minutes or until they are slightly tender.
Make the teriyaki sauce:
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the honey, coconut aminos or soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Whisk until smooth.
Combine:
- Add the chicken and teriyaki sauce to the veggies and stir to coat the ingredients with the sauce. Cover the skillet with the lid and remove it from heat.
- Scoop some rice into a bowl and top with the chicken and veggies.
