Liquids and Fats:
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) melted butter

Instructions
- Elevate the oven temperature to 400F (200C), creating an ideal cooking environment for the chicken.
- Generously coat chicken breasts with a harmonious blend of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring comprehensive seasoning.
- Warm olive oil in a skillet and carefully sear chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, developing a golden-brown exterior and guaranteeing thorough internal cooking.
- Craft a decadent topping by thoroughly combining Parmesan cheese, Provolone cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and ranch dressing into a cohesive mixture.
- Meticulously distribute the prepared cheese mixture across the surface of each chicken breast, creating an even, luxurious coating.
- Position the chicken under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, monitoring closely to achieve a perfectly crisp, golden-brown topping without burning.
- Transfer the beautifully prepared chicken to serving plates, presenting a restaurant-quality dish that promises rich flavors and delightful texture.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
- Pound chicken breasts evenly before seasoning to guarantee uniform cooking and tender texture.
- Replace breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour for celiac or gluten-sensitive diets.
- Pat chicken dry before seasoning to help spices adhere better and create a crispier exterior.
