Yes, they can. And its also very healthy for them, because they need vegetables just like us. Usually, they eat grass, weeds, or flowers to get vitamins, but when you keep them in a cage, its essential to feed them extra vegetables and sometimes fruits and they're crazy about fresh herbs!.

The only things you shouldn't feed them are unions, garlic, or citrus ftuits, like lemons or Oranges, they seem to find that hard to digest.

If you want to feed them broccoli, you should cook it first, because a raw broccoli is too hard for them. Lettuce, cucumber, tomatos and apples are perfect (think soft foods).

Also, make sure that they always have grains, witch is their basic food, because only feeding them vegetables wouldn't be good for them. And if you want them to lay lots of eggs, make sure they have plenty of space to dig for worms, worms provide them with proteine, its helps them make eggs.

So, the more the food varies, the healthier your chickens.

And ofcourse, protect them from diseases, like lice or worms, witch also prevents them from laying eggs. You can do that by taking them to a vet that has experience with chickens, but ask your vet first, because not all vets know about chickens!

If you have extra tomatoes, the chickens would surely appreciate the snack. Some flocks are fed tomatoes for the red pigment that will make the hen's yolks a rich orange color that is preferred in the Southeast part of the U.S.
