Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the broccoli, bell peppers, and onions evenly.
Place the browned chicken breasts over the vegetables in the baking dish.
Drizzle the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serve.
