    • ½ cup ranch dressing

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

    • ½ teaspoon salt

    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

    • 4 (6-ounce) chicken breasts (or 2 large, halved)

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

    For the Cheese Topping:

    • ½ cup ranch dressing

    • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

    • ½ cup grated provolone

    • ½ cup grated mozzarella

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    For the Panko Topping:

    • ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs

    • 2 tablespoons melted butter

    For Garnish:

    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken:

    • In a shallow dish, whisk together ranch dressing, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

    • Add the chicken breasts, coating them evenly.

    • Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  • Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.

    • Remove chicken from marinade (discard excess marinade) and sear for 5 minutes per side, until golden brown.

    • Remove from heat, keeping chicken in the skillet.

  • Prepare the Cheese Topping:

    • In a saucepan, combine ranch dressing, Parmesan, provolone, mozzarella, and garlic.

    • Heat over low, stirring until melted and smooth (about 5 minutes).

  • Make the Panko Topping:

    • Mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter in a bowl.

 

  • Broil & Serve:

    • Preheat oven to low broil.

    • Spoon cheese mixture over each chicken breast.

    • Broil for 3-4 minutes, until slightly browned.

    • Remove from oven, top with panko mixture, and broil for another 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

    • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve!

Notes

  • Make sure to watch the chicken closely while broiling to avoid burning the panko topping.

  • This dish pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a light salad.

 

  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can skip the panko topping or use whole-wheat breadcrumbs.
