salt and pepper

Top with chopped and blanched broccoli florets.

Top with chopped cooked bacon.

Top with shredded Mozzarella cheese.

Top with shredded Cheddar cheese.

Bake, uncovered, for about 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.  The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
