Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar until the sugar dissolves.
Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (discard used marinade) and cook for about 6 minutes on each side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165?F).
Add reserved marinade to the skillet and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return cooked chicken to the skillet and coat evenly with sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken overnight if possible.

Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli during cooking.

Use high-quality soy sauce for the best results.
