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
- Pound each out chicken breast to about 1/2 inch thick width. Season each side of the breast to taste.
- Place the chicken in a container with the italian dressing as the marinade. Let it marinade overnight or at least 30 minutes.
- Add the tablespoons of oil to a skillet on medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is smoking, add all the chicken to the skillet and sear 4 to 5 minutes each side.
- 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.
- Combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and panko. Stir well and set aside.
- Prepare your oven to broil at about 450 degrees.
- 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.
- Broil for about 3 minutes or until the cheese is slightly brown. Remove from the oven.
- 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.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, broccoli or green beans.
