Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 4 pieces skinless/boneless chicken breasts
  • Salt/Pepper to taste
  • 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Marinade

  • 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

  • ½ cup Provolone cheese chopped into bits
  • 6 Tablespoons Buttermilk Ranch salad dressing regular Ranch is fine as well

  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken

  • Whisk all marinade ingredients together until well-combined and uniform in consistency.
  • Place the chicken in a gallon freezer bag, remove the air, and seal. Use a meat tenderizer to pound it to about ½ inch thick.
  • Sprinkle each side of the chicken lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Place the chicken in a new freezer bag and add the marinade. Seal out the air and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or overnight.
  • Heat 2-3 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the chicken on each side for 4-5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a clean skillet or baking sheet and tent with foil to keep warm.

Add the Parmesan Crust

  • Preheat the oven to a low broil (450° F).
  • Combine Parmesan, Provolone, and Ranch dressing. Stir to combine and microwave in 15 seconds increments, stirring in between, until melted.
  • Spread it over the top of the chicken.
  • Combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and panko breadcrumbs and spoon it on top of the cheese.
  • Broil for 3-4 minutes, watching closely until the top begins to brown slightly.
