Preheat your oven to 180C/350F.

In a deep non-stick pan over high heat, heat the olive oil. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and bacon and saute until onion is translucent and bacon starts to brown.

Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and cook until they turn white. Do not cook the chicken completely here.

Lower your heat to medium. To the same pan, add butter and let it melt. Then mix in flour and whisk continuously for about 1.5 minutes until well combined.

Gradually pour in the milk while constantly whisking to avoid lumps. Continue to cook this mixture until it thickens to the consistency of a cream.

Switch off the heat and stir in the garlic powder, grated cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Keep whisking until the cheese fully melts and the sauce is smooth.

In a baking dish, arrange the broccoli florets and top them with the chicken-bacon mixture. Pour over half of the cheese sauce.

Cover the top with cubes of garlic bread, followed by drizzling the remaining cheese sauce over the bread cubes.

Ensure all bread cubes are moist with the sauce by pressing them down slightly. Sprinkle over panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top looks golden brown.

Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
