This dish is my lifesaver when I'm short on time but craving something delicious and satisfying.
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
- Add the Broccoli: Scatter the broccoli florets around the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and broccoli. Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melted and golden brown, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve the cheesy baked chicken and broccoli hot, with your favorite side dish if desired.
