Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with cooking spray.

Take 3 chicken breasts and make a slit on the side of each, being careful not to cut all the way through.

In a bowl, mix shredded mozzarella cheese and white shredded cheddar cheese to stuff the chicken breasts.

Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese mixture and secure with toothpicks to keep it closed.

Drizzle olive oil onto the stuffed chicken breasts and brush it on both sides.

In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs with grated cheese and garlic powder.

Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Remove the toothpicks from the chicken breasts after coating.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.

While the chicken is baking, prepare the bruschetta by mixing diced tomatoes, onion, salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and olive oil in a bowl.

After 25 minutes, take the chicken breasts out of the oven and top with mozzarella cheese.

Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
