Prepare the Chicken Butterfly the chicken breasts so they cook evenly. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Cook the Chicken

Grill over medium-high heat or sear in a hot skillet for about 4–5 minutes per side, until fully cooked and nicely browned. Transfer to a baking sheet.

Make the Parmesan Crust In a bowl, mix Parmesan, provolone (or mozzarella), panko, melted butter, ranch or Caesar dressing, and grated garlic until fully combined.

Broil to Finish

Spoon the topping generously over each piece of chicken. Broil for 2–3 minutes, just until the topping is bubbly and golden brown. Watch closely—this step moves fast.

Serve Garnish with parsley if desired and serve immediately.
