Ingredients
  

For the chicken:

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

For the 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 pepper

For the ranch spread:

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing

For the parmesan crumb topping:

  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients. Pour marinade over chicken breasts and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
  • When ready to cook, preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken for 12-15 minutes, until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • While the chicken is grilling, mix ¼ cup Parmesan with ¼ cup ranch dressing to make the ranch spread. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine panko, garlic salt, Parmesan, and melted butter to create the Parmesan crumb topping.
  • Once chicken is cooked, preheat broiler. Place chicken in an oven-safe dish, then spread each with 2 tbsp of ranch spread, followed by shredded provolone, and Parmesan crumb topping.
  • Broil until cheese melts and topping turns light golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
