1. Prepare the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a baking dish.
2. Make the Parmesan Crust:
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and lemon juice.
Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the chicken breasts.
3. Add the Topping:
Sprinkle shredded provolone cheese evenly over the mayonnaise mixture.
In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle this over the provolone cheese layer.
4. Bake the Chicken:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the topping is golden and bubbly.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken before serving for an added pop of color and flavor.
