If you are going to use a cell or virgin you can use 1 frame of brood and 1 foundation but you will need to feed. Shake some extra bees into the chambers as well.

I did exactly that this spring. Make sure the frame is solid capped brood and you shake in another frame of bees. Actually had one swarm/abscond a day after the queen started laying, all the cells were full of nectar, nowhere to lay. They will draw out the other frames on the flow.

Now keep in mind these nucs are week and will take time to build up. 2 deep frames of brood is probably better and will build much quicker.... in a 3x3 or 5x2 setup.
