Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skinless/boneless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, chopped into bits
- 6 tablespoons Buttermilk Ranch salad dressing
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ cup Provolone cheese, chopped into bits
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Whisk together all marinade ingredients until well-combined.
- Place chicken breasts in a gallon freezer bag and pound to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat tenderizer.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken in a new freezer bag, add the marinade, remove air, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a clean skillet or baking sheet and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Preheat the oven to a low broil (450°F).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, Provolone cheese, and Ranch dressing. Microwave in 15-second intervals until melted, stirring in between.
- In another bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and panko breadcrumbs. Stir into the cheese mixture.
- Spread the cheese and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Broil for 3-4 minutes until the topping is lightly browned. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve the Parmesan Crusted Chicken hot, accompanied by mashed potatoes or your favorite sides.
