Instructions
Marinate Chicken:
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) to let the flavors infuse.Preheat Grill or Skillet:

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Grill or pan-sear the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).Rest and Slice:
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice it into strips.Serve:

Notes
For an extra layer of flavor reminiscent of the original Bibibop experience, drizzle a small amount of Sriracha mayo or add a dash of toasted seaweed to your bowl. Experiment with additional ingredients like miso paste in the marinade for a deeper umami taste.
