Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Cheeses:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) shredded provolone cheese
Coating and Seasoning:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Elevate the oven temperature to a toasty 400°F (200°C), preparing for a golden, crispy transformation.
- Massage chicken breasts with a harmonious blend of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, infusing deep, savory flavors.
- Sear the seasoned chicken in a scorching hot skillet or grill, cooking each side for 6-7 minutes until perfectly cooked through and developing a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Whisk together creamy ranch dressing and finely grated Parmesan in a smooth, tangy coating, generously spreading the mixture across each succulent chicken breast.
- Create a crunchy topping by combining panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and additional Parmesan, ensuring an irresistible crisp texture that will crown the chicken.
- Lavishly drape each chicken breast with a blanket of melty shredded provolone cheese, adding a luxurious, gooey dimension.
- Transfer the prepared chicken to a baking sheet, sliding it into the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese bubbles and turns a tempting golden brown.
- Plate immediately while piping hot, ready to tantalize taste buds with its layers of flavor and texture.
Notes
- Customize the seasoning by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor depth.
- Swap ranch dressing with Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier alternative that reduces calories.
- Use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs to make the dish suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Rest the chicken for 3-5 minutes after cooking to ensure maximum juiciness and prevent dry meat.
