  • In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the olive oil and seasoning mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
  1. Cook the chicken:
  • Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest.

  • Spread a thin layer of the creamy ranch sauce on top of each cooked chicken breast.

  1. Broil the chicken:
  • Place the chicken under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the Parmesan crust is golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
