Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and onions and cook, crumbling the chicken as it browns, until the chicken is fully cooked and the onions are soft and translucent.

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil. In a separate bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch, then add it to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for 3–5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

While the sauce thickens, arrange the buns open-faced on the prepared baking sheet. Place a slice of cheese on each bun and bake for 3–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted.

Evenly divide the chicken mixture among the bottom buns, top with the remaining buns, and serve warm. Enjoy!
