  We use a simple, instanton motivated, nonlocal chiral quark model to
calculate pion Generalized Distribution Amplitudes (GDAs). The nonlocality
appears due to the momentum dependence of the constituent quark mass, which we
take in a form of a generalized dipole formula. With this choice all
calculations can be performed directly in the Minkowski space and the
sensitivity to the shape of the cutoff function can be studied. We demonstrate
that the model fulfills soft pion theorems both for chirally even and chirally
odd GDAs. The latter one cannot be derived by the methods of current algebra.
Whenever possible we compare our results with the existing data. This can be
done for the pion electromagnetic form factor and quark distributions as
measured in the proton-pion scattering.
