Ingredients
Chicken:

1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Parmesan Ranch Sauce:
1/2 cup ranch dressing 
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Crispy Topping:
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning 
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat.
Make the Parmesan Ranch Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix ranch dressing, grated Parmesan, and shredded mozzarella.
Prepare the Crispy Topping:
In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, melted butter, and Italian seasoning. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated.
Assemble the Chicken:
Spread a generous layer of the Parmesan ranch sauce over each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the crispy breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.
Bake the Chicken:
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and bubbly.
Serve & Enjoy:
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:For extra creaminess, drizzle a little melted butter over the breadcrumbs before baking.
