Here is a very simple test circuit:

According to the 16F84 data sheet, reset pin 4 can be tied to Vcc. However, I didn't find this particularly reliable if using a solderless breadboard, so I added the RC combination, ensuring the 16F84 gets a proper reset when powered up. It should work OK if a PCB is used.

I've used the RC oscillator option, with the on-chip capacitor, to keep things simple. The oscillator isn't particularly stable, but it doesn't really matter in this case.

This is the circuit built on a solderless breadboard. It requires about 5V: I used four NiMH AA cells.

Here is a simple test program that flashes the LED:
