Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken breasts to ¾ inch thickness. Rub with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Sear chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temp).
  3. Mix ranch dressing with Parmesan and spread evenly on each chicken breast.
  4. Top with shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese.
  5. Combine panko, Parmesan, melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder. Sprinkle over the cheese-topped chicken.
  6. Broil for 2–3 minutes until cheese melts and crust turns golden and crispy.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
  • Substitute panko with gluten-free crumbs for a GF version.
  • Cover loosely with foil if the cheese browns too quickly.
