Lower heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey and soy sauce, simmer 1–2 minutes.

Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir into the sauce, return chicken to pan, and simmer for 4–5 minutes, spooning sauce over chicken until thickened and fully cooked.
