  3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
    • In the same skillet, add vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat.
    • Add the minced ginger and garlic; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
    • Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
    • Drizzle with soy sauce and honey, tossing to combine.
  4. Combine:
    • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
