The chicken is seared on both sides in a skillet. Next combine parmesan & provolone cheeses and ranch dressing. Spread the cheese mixture on top of the chicken. Then combine Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs mixture on top then broil the chicken until the cheese melts.
