  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp distilled white vinegar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

For the Parmesan Crust:

 

  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 6 tbsp buttermilk ranch dressing
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

  1. Whisk all marinade ingredients together.
  2. Pound chicken to ½ inch thickness and coat in marinade.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tbsp oil.
  2. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Transfer to a baking sheet and tent with foil.

Step 3: Make the Parmesan Crust

  1. Melt provolone, parmesan, and ranch dressing in 15-second microwave bursts.
  2. Mix melted butter, panko, and garlic powder for the crispy topping.

Step 4: Assemble & Broil

  1. Spread cheese mixture over each chicken breast.
  2. Top with the panko crust and broil for 3-4 minutes until golden.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  2. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad!

Notes

  • No provolone? Use mozzarella, swiss, or gruyere as a substitute.
  • For a keto version, swap panko for crushed pork rinds.
  • Make-ahead tip: Marinate the chicken overnight for extra flavor.
