Ingredients
Scale
- 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: Gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Rub both sides with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Sear the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned chicken for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer them to a baking dish.
- Make the Parmesan topping: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, provolone cheese, and panko breadcrumbs. Stir until you achieve a thick mixture.
- Finish in the oven: Preheat the broiler. Spread the cheesy mixture evenly over each piece of chicken. Broil for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly golden.
- Serve & enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies.

For a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
