Prepare Ingredients: Gather your ingredients, including chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips), vegetables (such as broccoli and Chinese choy, chopped), garlic, ginger, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, rice vinegar, cornstarch, white pepper, oyster sauce, dried chili pepper (optional), and water.

In the same wok, add a bit more oil if needed and stir-fry the chopped vegetables until they are tender-crisp.
Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the thickened honey ginger sauce over the chicken and vegetables, tossing everything together until evenly coated. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together
Garnish and Enjoy: Once the sauce has thickened and the chicken and vegetables are fully coated, remove from heat. Serve your Honey Ginger Chicken hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
