Instructions

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over each chicken breast.
Cook the chicken breasts on the grill pan for 3-4 minutes, then flip them over.
In a medium bowl, mix together ½ cup Parmesan cheese and provolone cheese, and set aside.
Top each chicken breast with the cheese mixture and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with foil.
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
In another bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle over each chicken breast.
Broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken from the broiler and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding Italian herbs to the cheese mixture.
Serve with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if preferred.
