Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

  • —boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • —broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • —Cheez-It crackers (crushed)
  • —shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • —olive oil
  • —garlic powder
  • —salt
  • —black pepper

How to make it

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Preheating the oven ensures that your chicken cooks evenly and thoroughly.

  2. Prepare the chicken breasts.

    Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them to an even thickness to help them cook evenly.

  3. Season the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

    Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then rub it in to coat the chicken evenly.

  4. Place the broccoli florets in a baking dish.

    Arrange the broccoli florets in a single layer in a baking dish to allow them to roast nicely.

  5. Place the seasoned chicken on top of the broccoli.

    Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the broccoli in the baking dish.

  6. Sprinkle the crushed Cheez-It crackers over the chicken.

    Evenly sprinkle the crushed Cheez-It crackers over the chicken to create a crunchy topping.

  7. If using, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

    Add the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the Cheez-It layer for extra flavor and creaminess.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.

    Bake the dish until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.

  9. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    Allowing the dish to rest will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful when you cut into it.
