03 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
04 - 1/2 tsp black pepper.
05 - 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
06 - 1/2 tsp paprika.
07 - 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese.
08 - Optional: 1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded.
09 - 1/4 cup mayo.
10 - 1/2 cup of ranch dressing.

01 - Flatten chicken to about 1/2 inch, then sprinkle evenly with pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
02 - Warm up the olive oil in a skillet that can go in the oven. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes on both sides until it's browned.
03 - Move the skillet into a 400°F oven. Let it cook 10-12 minutes until the meat thermometer reads 165°F.
04 - Blend together garlic, Parmesan, ranch, seasonings, mayo, and mozzarella, if using.
05 - Stir melted butter into breadcrumbs and Parmesan until combined.
06 - Spread the Parmesan mixture over each chicken piece, add breadcrumbs on top, and broil for 2-3 minutes until browned.

01 - Steps 1 through 3 can be done ahead of time.
02 - Keep an eye on broiling; it browns quickly.
03 - Chicken's temperature should hit 165°F.
