Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a boil; add the chow mein noodles and cook according to package instructions.
Preheat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Add the onions, carrots and celery to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until just softened.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the noodles to the pan, along with the cabbage. Toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey and sesame oil. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan.
Stir until sauce evenly coats the noodles. Add the green onion tops and cook for 1-2 more minutes, until green onions and cabbage are wilted. Serve immediately.

Notes

You probably already have most of the ingredients for this recipe except for the chow mein noodles. I found dried chow mein noodles in the international aisle of my grocery store, they come in 6 ounce packages and cook very quickly.
I use a mandoline to cut my vegetables thin so that they cook quickly.
Cut your vegetable and chicken before you start cooking to save time.
