Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Season with black pepper to taste.
  2. Flatten the chicken breasts to about ½ inch thick. Place in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil, then sear the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine Parmesan, Provolone, and ranch dressing. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and cohesive.
  5. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Spread the cheese mixture over the top. Mix melted butter with panko breadcrumbs and garlic powder, then sprinkle over the cheese.
  6. Preheat oven's broiler to 450°F and broil the dish for 3-4 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

Notes

Ensure to pound the chicken to an even thickness for even cooking. For deeper flavor, marinate overnight but avoid going over 24 hours to keep the chicken's texture intact.
