Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/3 cup shredded provolone cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Pat chicken breasts dry and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
3. In one bowl, mix Parmesan and panko. In another, combine ranch dressing and mayonnaise. Set shredded provolone aside.
4. Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Spread ranch-mayo blend on top of each piece. Press the Parmesan-panko mixture over the sauce.
5. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. Add provolone cheese on top of each breast and bake for an additional 3–5 minutes, or broil until melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and crust texture.
Pound the chicken evenly to ensure even cooking.
Broil with caution; the cheese melts quickly and can burn.
