Finely chop the broccoli. It's important that the broccoli pieces be very small. Chop the chicken into small pieces as well.

Serve as is, stuff into a tortilla or pita for a sandwich, or stuff into a tortilla and toast in a skillet until the inside is melted for a quesadilla. Keep any remaining salad refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
