Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to ¾ inch thickness
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup olive oil for marinade
  • 1/2 cup prepared ranch dressing divided
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce for marinade
  • 1 tsp vinegar for marinade
  • 1 tsp lemon juice for marinade
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic for marinade
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper for marinade
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for ranch spread
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs for Parmesan crumb topping
  • 1 tsp garlic salt for Parmesan crumb topping
  • 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese for Parmesan crumb topping
  • 2 tbsp melted butter for Parmesan crumb topping

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat or an oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill or cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, flipping once, until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • In a small bowl, mix grated Parmesan and ranch dressing until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, garlic salt, shredded Parmesan, and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened and set aside.
  • Transfer the grilled chicken breasts to an oven-safe casserole dish. Spread 2 tablespoons of ranch spread over each chicken breast. Top with shredded provolone cheese and the Parmesan crumb topping, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Position the oven rack in the center and preheat the broiler. Broil the chicken for 2-4 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese melts and the crumb topping turns golden brown. Avoid over-broiling to prevent burning.
  • Garnish the chicken with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. Serve immediately with sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Notes

For a smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill for the initial cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
