Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a casserole dish with olive oil.
Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four thin pieces and place them in the casserole dish.
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning generously over both sides of the chicken.
Layer the blanched and chopped broccoli florets evenly over the seasoned chicken.
Distribute the chopped, cooked bacon over the broccoli and chicken mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella followed by the cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
