  • Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts, pounded to an even 1-inch thickness
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 3/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded thinly
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour marinade over them. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup ranch dressing with 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese to create the ranch spread.
  4. In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic salt, shredded parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, parsley, and melted butter until evenly coated.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375–400°F).
  6. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through, until lightly charred and nearly cooked through.
  7. Preheat oven broiler.
  8. Transfer chicken to a broiler-safe baking dish.
  9. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of ranch-Parmesan mixture over each chicken breast.
  10. Top each piece with provolone cheese.
  11. Divide breadcrumb topping evenly over the chicken and gently press into place.
  12. Broil for 3–5 minutes until cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown.
  13. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Marinating for the full 3 hours produces the most flavorful and tender chicken.
  • Watch closely while broiling to prevent the topping from burning.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan delivers the best flavor and texture.
