Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup ranch dressing
½ cup provolone cheese (shredded)

Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a baking dish.
Make the Parmesan Crust: In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and a bit of salt. Mix until crumbly.
Top the Chicken: Spread a layer of ranch dressing on each chicken breast, followed by shredded provolone. Sprinkle the Parmesan-panko mixture on top.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown.
Serve: Enjoy hot with a side of garlic bread or salad for a restaurant-style meal at home!
Tip: To elevate the flavor, add a touch of smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mixture for a subtle smoky taste.
