Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, thinly slice the red bell pepper and carrot, trim the snow peas, and finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a small bowl, prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir fry for 5-6 minutes until fully cooked and slightly golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same wok or skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Toss in the onion and garlic, and stir fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas to the pan. Stir fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, ensuring they remain crisp-tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Allow the stir fry to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and become glossy.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Remove from heat and optionally garnish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
Serve the High Protein Stir Fry Chicken hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
