Instructions

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

Notes

Adjust seasonings to your preference for a personalized flavor.
Ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
Let the chicken rest to keep it juicy before slicing.
