Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Lightly pound the chicken breasts so they cook evenly.
- Season: Rub both sides of the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
- Make the Parmesan topping: In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, provolone cheese, and panko breadcrumbs until it forms a thick, spreadable mixture.
- Spread the topping: Preheat your oven broiler. Evenly spread the cheesy mixture over each piece of chicken.
- Broil to finish: Place the baking dish under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Serve and enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
Notes
Avoid overcooking the chicken while broiling and use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
