Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Chicken Toppings
- ½ cup (120 g) ranch dressing
- ¾ cup (75 g) grated parmesan cheese, divided
- ¼ cup (27 g) panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup (56.5 g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Instructions
Marinade
- In a large bowl or zipped plastic bag, mix together the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Place the chicken in the marinade, turning to coat the chicken on all sides. Place the chicken in the refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour.
Chicken Toppings
- When ready, in a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing with ½ cup of parmesan cheese. Set aside.
- In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, heat up the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of each chicken breast reaches 165°F.
- Top each chicken breast with the ranch and parmesan mixture, panko crumbs, and shredded cheese, dividing the toppings equally between each chicken breast.
- Place the top oven rack about 6 inches from the top of the oven. Place the chicken on the top rack and broil at 550°F for 1-2 minutes, just to melt the cheese. (Watch carefully.)
- Remove from the oven and top with the remaining parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
