Preheat oven to 200°C fan-forced. Cut broccoli into florets, finely chop garlic and chop bacon.
Place broccoli on a baking tray lined with baking paper and toss to coat with 20ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil, garlic, bacon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.
While broccoli is cooking, combine flour, salt, pepper and Italian kitchen herbs in a bowl. In a second bowl, whisk egg. Place panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dust chicken in flour mixture, dip in egg and press to coat in breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Heat remaining oil in a frypan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through.
Top broccoli with mozzarella and bake for a further 5 minutes. Serve cheesy broccoli with chicken tenders.
