Equipment

1 Large oven-safe skillet or baking dish Cast iron works beautifully for even browning.
1 Mixing Bowl
1 Meat Thermometer Helps avoid overcooking and keeps the chicken juicy.
1 Zip-top bag or shallow dish For marinating the chicken.

Ingredients

4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts Thin sliced if possible for even cooking.
½ cup ranch dressing
½ cup Italian dressing
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup unsalted butter Melted.
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
4 slices provolone cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish.

Instructions

In a zip-top bag, combine the ranch dressing and Italian dressing, then add the chicken breasts. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until crumbly.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and sear each piece for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden.
Place the seared chicken in your baking dish. Top each piece with a slice of provolone cheese, press on the Parmesan crust mixture, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes until golden on top.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

For a quicker version, try this in the air fryer at 375°F for about 15 minutes, adding cheese at the end.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven.
This recipe pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, pasta, or a simple green salad.
Most importantly, let kids help where they can. These are the recipes they remember foreve
