Ingredients

For the chicken:

½ cup Italian dressing
⅓ cup ranch dressing
4 thin sliced chicken breasts
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

For the sauce:

4 ounces provolone cheese (shredded or small diced)
⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
⅓ cup ranch dressing

For the topping:

½ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together, 1/2 cup Italian dressing and 1/3 cup ranch dressing until combined to make the marinade.
Add 4 thin sliced chicken breasts and coat in the marinade. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
When you are ready to cook the chicken, make the sauce first by adding 4 ounces provolone cheese, 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese and 1/3 cup ranch dressing to a medium bowl and stir together.
Place in the microwave in 30-second intervals until mostly melted, and set aside.
Make the topping by stirring together 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder and 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted until well coated and set aside.
Place the oven rack in the middle part of your oven. Preheat the broiler on low.
On the stovetop, heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil.
Allow the excess marinade to drip off, and add the chicken to the skillet; try not to overcrowd the pan or the chicken will steam and not brown.
Cook under the broiler for about 5 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Note: NEVER leave the broiler unattended. You need to stay close by and not get distracted or this can burn before you know it.
Add the sauce evenly on top of each piece of chicken, followed by the breadcrumbs.
Broil until browned and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F, about 5-10 minutes. Serve immediately.
