First, make your sauce. Whisk together the cornstarch and soy sauce, then add in the remaining sauce ingredients. Place your thinly sliced chicken breast in a large mixing bowl and pour about 1 tablespoon over the chicken, coating evenly and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Prepare the chow mein noodles per package instructions, then drain and set aside.

In a large wok, heat your sesame oil on high heat. Once heated, add in the garlic and stir fry until golden brown. Once golden, add in the chicken breast and cook for about a minute. Next, add the cabbage and carrot, stir frying until the cabbage has mostly wilted. Once wilted, add in the noodles, sauce and water. Toss constantly until evenly coated. Add in your green onions, toss for an additional 30 seconds, then serve immediately.
