For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

For the Parmesan Crust Topping:

  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ranch dressing
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  2. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil or butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from heat but leave the chicken in the skillet.

3. Make the Parmesan Crust Topping:

  1. In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, provolone cheese, panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, and garlic powder until well combined.

4. Assemble the Dish:

  1. Spread a generous layer of the Parmesan crust topping over each chicken breast.

5. Bake:

  1. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the topping is golden and bubbly.

6. Serve:

  1. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Cheese Substitutions: Use Asiago or Gruyère for a more intense cheesy flavor.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the topping mixture and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours for easy assembly.
  • Side Suggestions: Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp Caesar salad for a complete meal.
