Cut each chicken breast into 3 long strips. Place in a small saucepan large enough to fit the chicken in a single layer. Cover with cold water and add a good pinch of salt. Place on a high heat and leave the lid off.
-
When the chicken liquid is gently simmering, reduce the heat to medium / medium high and simmer for 8-10 minutes with the lid off so you can keep an eye on it.
-
When the chicken reaches 165F / 73C (test with a thermometer), remove the chicken and place in a clean bowl. Save the broth for cooking the veg. If you don’t have a thermometer, just cut into the largest piece of chicken to make sure it is no longer pink.
-
While the chicken is cooking, slice broccoli stems into 1/2cm (1/4 inch) thick slices. Chop the florettes into bite sized trees. When the chicken is cooked and resting happily in a bowl, bring the cooking liquid to a rapid boil. Pop the prepared broccoli into the pot. Bang the lid on and boil for 5 minutes. Drain the broccoli using a bowl to catch the cooking liquid.
-
Slice kale crosswise into 1cm (1/2im) ribbons. Then when the broccoli is cooked, use the same liquid and pot to boil the kale with the lid on for about 2 minutes or until kale is wilted. Drain and discard the cooking liquid (or save it to drink – super nutritious and delicious!).
-
When you have a spare minute, combine mayo and pine nuts in a small bowl.
-
To serve, divide cooked broccoli, kale and lemon juice between two bowls. Shred chicken using your hands of two forks and toss cooked chicken in with the veg. Finish with a big dollop of the pine nut mayo on each bowl.
