Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Coating and Topping

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing or Caesar dressing
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to build a flavorful base.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the hot oil and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown, forming a crispy exterior.
  3. Add dressing: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking sheet. Spread a thin, even layer of ranch or Caesar dressing on top of each breast to add moisture and tanginess.
  4. Apply cheese and breadcrumb crust: In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Press this mixture firmly onto the dressing-covered side of each chicken breast to create a flavorful crust.
  5. Add provolone cheese: Lay one to two slices of provolone cheese over the Parmesan breadcrumb topping on each chicken breast.
  6. Bake the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the prepared chicken breasts on the baking sheet for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a fresh finish. Serve immediately for a crispy, cheesy delight.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to verify an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
  • Substitute ranch dressing with Caesar dressing for varying flavor profiles.
  • Panko breadcrumbs provide extra crunch compared to regular breadcrumbs.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
