Cheese and Breadcrumbs:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) shredded provolone cheese
Seasonings and Other Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 400°F, ensuring proper heat distribution for even cooking.
- Create a robust seasoning blend by generously coating chicken breasts with garlic and onion powders, complemented by salt and pepper.
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium flame, carefully searing chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until a rich golden-brown crust develops.
- Craft a savory cheese coating by thoroughly combining Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and provolone in a mixing bowl.
- Apply a delicate layer of ranch dressing across each chicken breast, creating a moisture-rich foundation.
- Meticulously layer the prepared cheese mixture over the ranch-coated chicken, gently pressing to ensure complete adherence.
- Position the chicken in a baking dish, transferring to the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese transforms into a golden, bubbling crust.
- Elevate the presentation by sprinkling fresh parsley across the top and accompanying with complementary side dishes.
Notes
- Customize seasoning by experimenting with different herb blends like Italian or Cajun for varied flavor profiles.
- Ensure chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F to guarantee safe and juicy meat, using a meat thermometer for precise checking.
- For gluten-free version, substitute breadcrumbs with almond flour or crushed pork rinds to maintain crispy texture.
- Create lighter option by using Greek yogurt instead of ranch dressing, reducing calories while keeping delicious moisture and tanginess.
