1. Steam the broccoli for 4 mins until just tender, tip into a large bowl, then season. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan, then fry the shallots for 2 mins. Add the chillies and garlic, then cook for a further 4 mins until softened.
2. Remove the shallots, chilli and garlic with a slotted spoon, then mix with the broccoli, olives and chicken. Add the soy sauce to the pan, warm over a medium heat, then pour over the salad. Eat warm or cold.

Tip

If you want to make this salad more substantial, add a pack of egg noodles, cooked according to pack instructions, then cooled under running water.

  Yummy! I halved the recipe, used half a grilled chicken and added a chopped tomato. Had it with noodles, lovely and fast!

  A nice meal for a quick and low-fat dish. I added tomato as per Tora (top idea) and cashew nuts to the above which work very well. I also didn't steam the broccoli before mixing it in to the shallots etc but placed it on top of the shallots, chilli and garlic with a cover to sweat them until just cooked. Worked very well even if I do say so myself :)

  I felt this was just a little bit bland and would have benfitted from more sauce, next time I think I'd make a dressing with the soy instead of warming it.
