Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts Pound thicker pieces to a uniform thickness for consistent results.
  • 1/2 cup Ranch dressing Use a full-flavored ranch for creaminess and tang.
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced Fresh gives the brightest aroma; reduce jarred garlic slightly.
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated Freshly grated works best; pre-grated can be dryer.
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs Creates an airy, crispy crust; use gluten-free for a GF option.
  • 1/2 cup Provolone cheese, shredded Can substitute mozzarella for a stretchier melt.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, melted Can substitute with olive oil for dairy-free variation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Grill the chicken until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Mixing Toppings
  1. In a bowl, mix together the ranch dressing, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  2. Spread the ranch mixture over each grilled chicken breast.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix panko bread crumbs, shredded provolone cheese, and melted butter until crumbs are well-coated.
  4. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the chicken.
Finishing
  1. Grill for an additional 2-3 minutes until the topping is golden and crispy.
  2. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

To preserve crispness when reheating, microwave briefly then crisp in a skillet. Use a meat thermometer to confirm an internal temperature of 165°F.
