Chicken under a vegetable coat

Preparation

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them in a baking dish. Drizzle with half of the olive oil and season evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli florets and diced red bell pepper. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with a pinch more salt and pepper. Toss until well coated.
4
Spoon the seasoned vegetable mixture over each chicken breast, ensuring they are well covered.
5
Bake for 20 minutes. Then, sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese over the vegetable topping.
6
Return to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74°C / 165°F) and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Serve hot and enjoy your healthy, protein-packed meal!
