1 Prepare the ingredients

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the broccoli. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem; cut into small florets. Grate the fontina and gouda on the large side of a box grater; combine in a bowl. Halve the rolls. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste.

2 Start the chicken

In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and as much of the chile paste as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Transfer to a baking dish. Evenly top with peppers (tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding) and prepared tomato sauce. Bake 16 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave (or melt in a small pot on the stove, then transfer to a bowl). Add the garlic paste; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Carefully move the partially roasted broccoli to one side of the sheet pan, then place the halved rolls on the other side. Evenly top the rolls with the garlic butter and half the parmesan. Roast 5 to 7 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly browned and crispy and the broccoli is tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Carefully transfer the garlic bread to a cutting board; halve on an angle.

  • Evenly topped the partially baked chicken with the grated fontina and gouda. Bake 4 to 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through.* If desired, turn your oven to the broil function; broil 2 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown (watching carefully so it doesn’t burn). Remove from the oven. Let stand at least 2 minutes before serving. Serve the finished chicken with the roasted broccoli and garlic bread. Top the broccoli with the remaining parmesan. Enjoy!
