Ingredients

For the Marinade:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

½ cup olive oil

½ cup prepared ranch dressing

3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp vinegar

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tbsp minced garlic

½ tsp black pepper

For the Ranch Spread:

¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

¼ cup ranch dressing

For the Parmesan Topping:

½ cup panko breadcrumbs

⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic salt

2 tbsp melted butter

¼ cup shredded provolone cheese

Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper. Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and coat with the marinade. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight for best flavor.

  • Cook the Chicken: Preheat grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). Grill the chicken for 12-15 minutes until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. If baking, cook in the preheated oven for the same amount of time.

  • Prepare the Ranch Spread: Mix ¼ cup Parmesan cheese with ¼ cup ranch dressing until smooth, and set aside.

  • Make the Parmesan Topping: Combine panko breadcrumbs, ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and melted butter in a bowl.

  • Assemble Chicken for Broiling: Transfer the cooked chicken to a casserole dish. Spoon ranch spread over each breast, top with provolone cheese, and sprinkle with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.

  • Broil: Broil in the oven for 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese melts and breadcrumbs turn golden brown.

  • Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives, and serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb topping.

  • Substitute ranch dressing with Greek yogurt for a Mediterranean twist.

  • Freeze the cooked chicken (without the crumb topping) for up to 2 months.
