Ingredients
  

Chicken:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to ¾ inch thickness
  • 1 cup shredded provolone

Marinade:

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup prepared ranch dressing
  • 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Ranch Spread:

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing

Parmesan Crumb Topping:

  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • ⅓ cup shredded Parmesan
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

  • In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients: olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and pepper. Place chicken in a resealable bag or dish, cover with the marinade, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight.

Grill the Chicken:

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Alternatively, use a grill pan or bake in the oven.

Prepare the Ranch Spread:

  • While the chicken is cooking, mix together the grated Parmesan and ranch dressing in a small bowl. Set aside.

Make the Crumb Topping:

  • In another bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, garlic salt, shredded Parmesan, and melted butter. Mix until crumbs are evenly moistened.

Assemble and Broil:

  • Preheat the broiler. Transfer grilled chicken to an oven-safe dish. Spread 2 tablespoons of ranch spread on each breast, top with shredded provolone, and add the Parmesan crumb topping. Broil for a few minutes until the topping is golden and the cheese melts.

Serve:

  • Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute panko with gluten-free bread crumbs. For a low-fat version, use light ranch dressing and reduce cheese and butter.
