Ingredients
For the Chicken:
-
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Ranch Marinade:
-
1/2 cup ranch dressing
-
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp white vinegar
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Parmesan Crust:
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
-
1/4 cup ranch dressing
-
4 tbsp mayonnaise
-
Optional: 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)
Instructions
-
Marinate the Chicken: Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or dish and pour marinade over. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
-
Cook the Chicken: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a baking dish.
-
Prepare the Parmesan Crust: In a small bowl, mix Parmesan, provolone, ranch, mayonnaise, and panko (if using) until combined.
-
Top and Bake: Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture over each chicken breast. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally and the top is bubbly and lightly golden.

Notes
-
You can grill the chicken instead of pan-searing for a smokier flavor.
-
Add chopped herbs like parsley or thyme for freshness.
-
