  • Total Time: 30 minutes (excluding marinating
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Chicken and Marinade:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Parmesan Crust:

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • ⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

For the Topping:

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing
  • 4 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
  3. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 2: Prepare the Parmesan Crust

  1. In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, garlic salt, shredded Parmesan cheese, and melted butter.
  2. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

  1. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess liquid.
  3. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Transfer the cooked chicken to a baking sheet.

Step 4: Assemble and Broil

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler.
  2. In a small bowl, mix grated Parmesan cheese and ranch dressing to form a spread.
  3. Spread a layer of the Parmesan-ranch mixture over each chicken breast.
  4. Top each piece with a slice of provolone cheese.
  5. Sprinkle the panko Parmesan mixture evenly over the provolone.
  6. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
  2. Serve hot with sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Oven-Baked Version: Bake the marinated chicken at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes before broiling the topping.
  • Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes to the marinade for heat.
  • Different Cheese Options: Swap provolone for mozzarella or Swiss.
  • Low-Carb Option: Use almond flour instead of panko for a gluten-free version.
