1 T. olive oil
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1/2 lb. broccoli, chopped, reserving florets
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 t. dry basil, crushed, or 2 t. chopped fresh basil

Add dry basil now, with salt, cayenne and chicken stock. Cover and simmer for
