Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to 0.75 inches / 1.9 centimeters thickness)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded provolone cheese
Marinade Ingredients:
- 0.25 cups (60 milliliters) olive oil
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) black pepper
Ranch Spread:
- 0.25 cups (60 milliliters) prepared ranch dressing
- 0.25 cups (60 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
Parmesan Crumb Topping:
- 0.25 cups (60 milliliters) panko bread crumbs
- 0.25 cups (60 milliliters) shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) garlic salt
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) melted butter
Instructions
- Create a zesty marinade by whisking together olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Submerge chicken breasts in the marinade within a sealed resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, ensuring complete coverage. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight to allow deep flavor infusion.
- Remove chicken from refrigerator and let excess marinade drip off. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare grill to medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken for 12-15 minutes, flipping once, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Ensure chicken is thoroughly cooked and juices run clear.
- Prepare Parmesan topping by blending grated Parmesan cheese with ranch dressing until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, garlic salt, shredded Parmesan, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly to create an even, moistened coating.
- Transfer grilled chicken to an oven-safe casserole dish. Spread two tablespoons of ranch-Parmesan mixture over each chicken breast. Layer generously with shredded provolone cheese.
- Sprinkle the prepared bread crumb mixture evenly over the cheese, gently pressing to ensure adherence. Position oven rack in the center position.
- Activate broiler function and place chicken underneath. Broil for 2-4 minutes, watching carefully to achieve a golden-brown crust without burning.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately alongside roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
