Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• One-half cup of olive oil
• Three-fourths cup of ranch dressing
• 1 teaspoon of vinegar
• 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• One-half teaspoon of black pepper
• One cup of shredded parmesan cheese
• One-half cup of Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter
• Provolone cheese slices

Directions

1. Mix the olive oil, one-half cup of ranch dressing vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper together into a Ziploc bag and add in the chicken. Marinate for at least one hour.
2. After marinating, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Place chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 16 minutes, then turn the chicken over and bake for another 16 minutes.
4. While chicken is baking, mix one-fourth cup of ranch dressing and one-half cup of parmesan cheese in a bowl.
5. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, one-half cup of parmesan cheese, and butter.
6. After the chicken is done baking, spread the ranch and parmesan sauce over the chicken, place a piece of provolone cheese on each slice, then spread the breadcrumb mixture over each chicken breast.
7. Broil in the oven for a few minutes, just until the cheese is melted and the breadcrumbs are slightly browned.
