Ingredients
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup ranch dressing
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2-3 chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, chopped into bits
1/2 cup Provolone cheese, chopped into bits
6 tablespoons buttermilk ranch dressing
4 tablespoons melted butter
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
- Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a bowl.
- Place chicken breasts in a freezer bag, pound to 1/2 inch thickness, season with salt and pepper, and add marinade. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a clean skillet or baking sheet and tent with foil.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Combine Parmesan, Provolone, and ranch dressing in a bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals until melted.
- In another bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and panko breadcrumbs.
- Spread the melted cheese mixture over the chicken breasts.
- Top with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Broil for 3-4 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Substitute Provolone with Swiss, Mozzarella, or Munster cheese.
- Use crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs for a low-carb version.
- Grill the chicken instead of searing for a smoky flavor.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes.
