2 skinless chicken breast fillets
1 bunch Chinese broccoli

Heat a heavy-based frying pan over medium heat, add oil and brown chicken well on both sides, then transfer to baking dish and cook in preheated oven for 5 minutes Set aside for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Wash broccoli well, remove tough outer leaves and slice stems and leaves on the angle into 2 cm (3/4 in) slices. Put the kettle on to boil. Pour boiling water over noodles and set aside.
