Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
- ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese divided
- ½ cup shredded provolone cheese
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over each chicken breast.
- Place the chicken on the grill pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip the chicken.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese and provolone, and set aside.
- Top chicken with the cheese mixture and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken and place it on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Preheat your oven’s broiler on high.
- In a separate bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cream and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle this over each chicken breast.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until golden and crispy, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Remove from the broiler and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure to monitor the chicken under the broiler to avoid burning the breadcrumbs.
Using fresh garlic instead of powder can enhance the flavor even more.
This dish pairs well with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
