Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Stir in the dried thyme, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the shredded cooked chicken and broccoli florets to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the broccoli is vibrant and tender.
