Cut the chicken breast into thin strips or bite-sized pieces and season with salt and ground black pepper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces. Separate baby bok choy leaves and rinse them well. Slice the red chili and finely mince the garlic cloves. Chop the green onions into 1-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and sliced red chili, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the asparagus and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, followed by the baby bok choy. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the stir-fry.
Stir in the chopped green onions and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
