Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 cup italian dressing
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • ½ cup provolone cheese, grated
  • 6 tablespoon buttermilk ranch dressing
  • 4 tablespoon melted butter
  • ¾ cup panko
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps

  1. Pound each out chicken breast to about 1/2 inch thick width. Season each side of the breast to taste.
  2. Place the chicken in a container with the italian dressing as the marinade. Let it marinade overnight or at least 30 minutes.
  3. Add the tablespoons of oil to a skillet on medium-high heat.
  4. Once the oil is smoking, add all the chicken to the skillet and sear 4 to 5 minutes each side.
  5. While the chicken is going, combine the parmesan, provolone, and ranch dressing. Stir to combine and microwave in 15 second increments while stirring in between. Once it reaches a lumpy, mashed potato like consistency, set aside.
  6. Combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and panko. Stir well and set aside.
  7. Prepare your oven to broil at about 450 degrees.
  8. Once the chicken is finished, place all the breasts on an oven-safe pan. Add the ranch-cheese mixture to the top of each breast in similar amounts.
  9. Broil for about 3 minutes or until the cheese is slightly brown. Remove from the oven.
  10. Add the panko mixture to each breast evenly. Add back to the oven and broil for about 1 minute or until the breadcrumbs are slightly brown.
  11. Serve with mashed potatoes, broccoli or green beans.
