Method
 

  1. **Prepare the Chicken:**
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. **Sear the Chicken:**
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer them to an oven-safe baking dish.
  5. **Bake the Chicken:**
  6. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. **Prepare the Topping:**
  8. In a bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, ranch dressing, and provolone cheese until well combined.
  9. **Make the Parmesan Crust:**
  10. In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  11. **Assemble the Topping:**
  12. Spread the Parmesan-ranch mixture over each chicken breast. Sprinkle the panko mixture on top to create a crispy crust.
  13. **Broil:**
  14. Place the baking dish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  15. **Serve:**
  16. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
