Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken breasts in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill or sear the marinated chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan, and provolone cheese. Stir until well mixed.
- Spread a layer of ranch dressing over each chicken breast, then sprinkle the breadcrumb-cheese mixture on top.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the topping is golden and crispy.
- In the final few minutes of baking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the chicken and broil on high for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella for provolone if preferred.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
