Season the chicken cubes with salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
Pour the honey garlic sauce mixture into the skillet with the chicken and stir to coat.
In a small cup, whisk the cornstarch and cold water together to create a slurry.
Pour the slurry into the skillet and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
Remove from heat and serve over rice or vegetables.
