Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Coating and Seasonings:
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shredded provolone cheese
- ¼ cup Caesar dressing
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Spices and Oils:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Season 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder across your chicken breasts, ensuring both sides receive an even coating.
- Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet at medium heat (375°F). Sear chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Combine ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup mozzarella, ¼ cup provolone, ¼ cup Caesar dressing, and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a mixing bowl. Blend until the mixture forms a crumbly consistency.
- Transfer your seared chicken breasts onto a clean baking sheet. Distribute the cheese topping generously across each piece, gently pressing to help it adhere.
- Position your oven rack 4-5 inches from the broiler. Activate the broiler at high setting (500°F). Broil chicken for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Check that the cheese topping transforms into a golden-brown crust. Remove from broiler when the cheese melts completely and edges turn crispy.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the chicken for a vibrant garnish. Serve immediately while the cheese remains warm and crisp.
Notes
- Take time to pound chicken breasts evenly to ensure uniform cooking and tender meat.
- Ensure skillet is preheated properly to get a perfect golden-brown sear on the chicken.
- Mix Parmesan topping ingredients thoroughly so each bite has balanced cheese and breadcrumb texture.
- Let chicken rest for a few minutes after broiling to help juices redistribute, keeping the meat moist and flavorful.
