### 🔥 How to Make the Magic Happen
#### 1. **Preheat the Oven**
Start by preheating your oven to **375°F (190°C)**. Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
#### 2. **Prep the Chicken**
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
#### 3. **Make the Garlic Butter**
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Pour half over the chicken and save the rest for later.
#### 4. **Bake**
Place the chicken in the prepared dish and bake for **20–25 minutes**, depending on the thickness.
#### 5. **Add the Cheese**
Remove from the oven, pour the remaining garlic butter on top, and sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over each piece of chicken.
#### 6. **Broil to Finish**
Pop it back in the oven and broil for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
#### 7. **Serve & Savor**
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with your favorite side—think buttery mashed potatoes, garlic bread, or roasted veggies.
