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

  1. Elevate the oven temperature to a toasty 400°F (200°C), preparing for a golden, crispy transformation.
  2. Massage chicken breasts with a harmonious blend of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, infusing deep, savory flavors.
  3. 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.
  4. Whisk together creamy ranch dressing and finely grated Parmesan in a smooth, tangy coating, generously spreading the mixture across each succulent chicken breast.
  5. Create a crunchy topping by combining panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and additional Parmesan, ensuring an irresistible crisp texture that will crown the chicken.
  6. Lavishly drape each chicken breast with a blanket of melty shredded provolone cheese, adding a luxurious, gooey dimension.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
