Instructions
Prep & Marinate: Pound chicken to ¾” thickness. Mix Italian dressing, ranch, Worcestershire, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Sear the Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat oil and sear chicken on both sides until golden. Remove from heat.
Make the Cheese Sauce: Mix provolone, Parmesan, and ranch dressing. Warm gently until melted and combined.
Prepare the Topping: Mix panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, and melted butter until coated.
Assemble & Broil: Spoon cheese sauce over seared chicken, top with breadcrumb mixture, and broil for 5–10 minutes until bubbly, golden, and chicken reaches 165 °F internal temp.
Notes
Shortcut: Use pre-made Italian + ranch for quick marinade.
Keto Option: Use crushed pork rinds instead of panko.
Cheese Variations: Swap provolone for Swiss or mozzarella.
Grill Variation: Grill chicken instead of pan-searing.
Make-Ahead: Assemble in advance and broil just before serving.
