1 tablespoon minced garlic

Sear the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and sear chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the Parmesan Crust: Preheat the oven and combine Parmesan, Provolone, and Ranch dressing. Spread over chicken, then top with a mixture of melted butter, garlic powder, and panko breadcrumbs.
Broil: Broil the chicken for 3-4 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Serve hot with mashed potatoes.

Notes

For baking or grilling instructions, refer to the notes section.
Use a cast iron skillet for the best sear on the chicken.
Watch the broiling process closely to prevent burning.
