Instructions

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small mixing bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of the melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; brush the mixture onto each chicken breast.
Cook the chicken breasts on the preheated grill pan for 3-4 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese with the provolone cheese; 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 from the grill pan to a baking sheet lined with foil.
Preheat the oven’s broiler on high.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese and the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter; sprinkle over the chicken breasts.
Broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs to the cheese mixture.
Ensure to monitor the broiler closely to prevent breadcrumbs from burning.
This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
