# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Whisk together olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper in a bowl. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
02 -
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 12-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Aim for a nice char on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
03 -
While chicken is grilling, mix ¼ cup grated Parmesan with ¼ cup ranch dressing in a small bowl. Set aside.
04 -
In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic salt, shredded Parmesan, and melted butter. Stir until everything is evenly coated and crumbly.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
This recipe is inspired by Longhorn Steakhouse garlic Parmesan crusted chicken. The marinade alone makes the chicken incredibly flavorful, but the layered toppings really bring it home.
02 -
You can swap provolone for mozzarella or Swiss, and adjust garlic or ranch amounts to taste.
03 -
If you don't have a grill, sear the chicken in a hot skillet and finish baking in the oven until cooked through.
