1teaspoondried Italian seasoning
Ranch Mixture
1/4cupranch dressing
1/4cupgrated Parmesan cheese
Cheddar Sauce
1cupheavy cream
1/2cupshredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the ranch dressing and grated Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Keep warm.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and spread a layer of the ranch spread over each chicken breast. Top the ranch spread with the Parmesan crust mixture, pressing it down lightly to adhere.
Preheat the broiler to high. Place the chicken under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Serve the Parmesan crusted chicken with the warm cheddar cream sauce drizzled over the top or on the side for dipping.
Notes
For a crispier crust, broil the chicken for an extra minute. You can swap cheddar for mozzarella for a milder cheese flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
