Ingredients
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Parmesan Crust:
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded Provolone cheese
1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat the grill (or a grill pan) to medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Brush the grill with olive oil and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Prepare the Parmesan crust while the chicken is grilling. In a small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, Provolone cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, melted butter, and mayonnaise.
- Preheat the oven to broil and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the cooked chicken on the baking sheet and spoon the Parmesan mixture evenly over each piece.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or cayenne to the Parmesan crust.
Cheese Swap: Use Mozzarella or Swiss instead of Provolone.
Air Fryer Method: Cook at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, then broil the topping for crispiness.
Oven-Baked Method: Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, then add the topping and broil.
Low-Carb Version: Swap Panko breadcrumbs with crushed pork rinds or almond flour.
