Chicken and Vegetables with Oyster Sauce

This chicken and vegetables with oyster sauce is an easy-to-prepare and delicious dish, not to mention it is also healthy.  As always, since I was not sure what to cook again after work, I did not want to go to the grocery store and take-out food was not an option. So, here you go again, checked the refrigerator, freezer and cupboard and this what I came up with.
