I can’t get enough of this delightful homemade parmesan-crusted chicken. The pan-seared chicken remains incredibly moist and tender, perfectly complemented by the delightful blend of mozzarella, parmesan, and crispy breadcrumbs. It’s a fail-proof combination of flavors that always hits the spot.
Crispy Mozzarella Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 1/4 cup Italian dressing
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Topping
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the Italian dressing, Worcestershire sauce, and spices. Pound the chicken breasts thin to about 1/2 inch thickness and add them to the bowl. Cover, and marinate for 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Heat oil in a large non-stick pan to medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, in a medium bowl, stir the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and ranch dressing. In a separate small bowl, stir the breadcrumbs and butter.
- Top each chicken breast equally with the cheese mixture and then with the breadcrumb mixture. Transfer to the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted through and the panko is crunchy.
- Mozzarella Parmesan Crusted Chicken is juicy, flavorful, and has the perfect crispy topping. With a little bit of prep time to allow the chicken to marinate it's the perfect weeknight dinner.
