Basil Chicken Broccoli Pasta

I know, I know.  Another pasta recipe.  We eat a lot of pasta in our family, what can I say.  I found this recipe years ago and loved how light and flavorful it is.  It is a great meal for the summer, a great meal for the winter and a great meal for days when you need dinner ready in 30 minutes or less.  This meal is not meant to have a lot of sauce, just enough to coat the noodles so they don't stick together.  That is one of the reasons it is low calorie.  Also, the recipe calls for carrots but I forgot to get some at the store so we left them out.  It was still good but it is better with the carrots and prettier too.  Anyway, give it a try, I know you'll love it!

1-2 Chicken Breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 T. Olive Oil
