Instructions

Chop chicken into one-inch pieces and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Massage the marinade into the chicken until well coated.
Heat an oiled pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and marinade to the pan and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened into a sticky glaze.

Substitute chicken breast with boneless thighs for extra moisture. Ensure your teriyaki sauce is specifically labeled alcohol-free. Store leftovers in an airtight container for easy school lunches the next day.
