Sticky Soy Chicken and Noodle Salad

A delightfully sticky chicken noodle dish

Preparation:

1. Combine the honey and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl and stir until the honey has dissolved. Add the chilli. Cut the chicken evenly into bite-sized pieces and place in the marinade, stirring gently to coat. Set aside for at least 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, bring a small saucepan of salted water to the boil. Trim the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized pieces. When the water is boiling, throw in the broccoli and blanch for 2 minutes until the vegetable is bright green and just tender. Immediately drain in a sieve and hold the broccoli under cold running water to stop the cooking. Set aside to cool completely.
3. Cook noodles according to pack instructions until just tender, drain thoroughly,put in mixing bowl and add the blanched broccoli.
4. Halve the cucumber lengthways and use a metal teaspoon to scoop out the seeds. Finely slice the cucumber diagonally and add it to the bowl of noodles. Cut the spring onions into short pieces, slicing them on the diagonal, and add to the noodles.
5. Add the chilli, soy sauce, lime juice and sesame oil and toss the noodles gently so that the vegetables and dressing are evenly distributed.
6. Preheat the grill and grill pan. Lift the chicken pieces from the marinade and thread them onto metal skewers, making 2 or 4 kebabs depending on the length of your skewers. Place them under the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning as necessary, until the chicken is browned, slightly charred at the edges, and cooked right through.
7. Divide the noodle salad amongst serving plates and top with the chicken kebabs.
