Ingredients

4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
