Angel Hair Pasta with Chicken

This is given to me by my sister Heather Jamison.

2 T olive oil, divided
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes
1 carrot sliced diagonally into ¼ inch slices
½ lb broccoli
2 cloves minced garlic
12 oz angel hair pasta
2/3 c chicken broth
1 tsp dried basil
¼ c grated parmesan cheese

Heat 1 T oil in skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and minced garlic. Cook until chicken is cooked through. Move chicken to a bowl. Heat remaining oil in the same skillet. Begin heating water for pasta. Add carrot to skillet, and cook about 4 minutes. Add broccoli, and cook about 2 more minutes. Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, add chicken broth, basil and parmesan and cooked chicken to the vegetables in the skillet. Stir to combine, and simmer for about 4 minutes. Drain pasta. Place in a large serving bowl and top with chicken and vegetable mixture. Serve immediately. (Serves 4)
