- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder

For the Parmesan Crust:

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

- Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
- Remove from heat and transfer to a baking sheet (if using broiler).
Step 3: Make the Parmesan Crust
- In a bowl, mix Parmesan, provolone, Panko, butter, mayonnaise, and garlic powder until combined.
- Spread this mixture evenly over the cooked chicken.
Step 4: Broil Until Crispy
- Place chicken under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the crust is golden and bubbly.
- Remove and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Pro Tips:
- ✔ For extra crispiness, use crushed Ritz crackers instead of Panko.
- ✔ Want a spicy kick? Add red pepper flakes to the crust.
- ✔ Make it even cheesier – add an extra layer of provolone!
