Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for pan-searing)

For the Parmesan Crust:

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp ranch dressing
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp paprika (optional, for flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Sear the Chicken:

    • Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
    • Remove from heat but leave the chicken in the skillet.
  4. Make the Parmesan Topping:

    • In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, melted butter, ranch dressing, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and paprika (if using) until well combined.
  5. Add the Topping:

    • Spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over each chicken breast in the skillet. Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese on top of the Parmesan mixture.
  6. Broil to Melt the Cheese:

    • Place the skillet under the broiler for 1-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  7. Serve:

    • Remove from the oven, let the chicken rest for a minute, and serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Add a bit of spice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Parmesan topping for some heat.
  • Make it lighter: Substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
