  We compute the helicity skewed quark distributions $\widetilde{H}$ and
$\widetilde{E}$ in the chiral quark-soliton model of the nucleon. This model
emphasizes correctly the role of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry in
structure of nucleon. It is based on the large-N_c picture of the nucleon as a
soliton of the effective chiral lagrangian and allows to calculate the leading
twist quark- and antiquark distributions at a low normalization point. We
discuss the role of chiral symmetry in the helicity skewed quark distributions
$\widetilde{H}$ and $\widetilde{E}$. We show that generalization of soft pion
theorems, based on chiral Ward identities, leads in the region of -\xi < x <
\xi to the pion pole contribution to $\widetilde{E}$ which dominates at small
momentum transfer.
