In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours for better flavor.
