Description
A restaurant-quality Parmesan crusted chicken dish that’s easy to make at home, featuring grilled chicken breasts topped with cheeses and a crispy panko crust.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise for 4 portions)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- ½ cup shredded provolone cheese
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat your grill pan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of each chicken breast.
- Place the chicken on the hot grill pan and cook for 3-4 minutes without moving it. Flip the chicken breasts over.
- While the chicken cooks, mix together ½ cup Parmesan and provolone cheese in a medium bowl. Top each chicken breast with this cheese mixture, then continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the grill pan and transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet. Preheat your oven’s broiler on high.
- In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. The breadcrumbs should turn golden brown and crispy. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Watch the broiler closely to prevent burning. Grate your own cheese for smoother melting.
