Ingredients
4 chicken breasts

1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices provolone cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Pat dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked.
3. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet. Place a slice of provolone cheese on each piece.
4. In a bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, ranch dressing, and a pinch of garlic powder.
5. Spoon the parmesan topping mixture over each chicken breast.
6. Broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes or until the crust is golden and bubbly.
7. Remove from oven and serve hot.
Notes
Always pound your chicken to even thickness for consistent cooking.
Use freshly grated parmesan for best flavor and melting.
Broil only briefly to avoid burning the crust.
