Mix soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, and half the lemon juice in a bowl.
Step 2
Pat chicken dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers.

Flip chicken. Pour the soy-garlic marinade around the pieces. Simmer 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
