3/4 c Parmesan cheese, chopped into bits

3/4 c Provolone cheese, chopped into bits

Place the bag inside the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high.

Add the chicken breasts and sear each side for a few minutes or until they turn brown.

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet onto a clean plate.

Prepare the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.

In a microwavable bowl, add all the ingredients for the topping aside from the panko. Stir until well combined.

Place it inside the microwave and heat it for 30 seconds.

Add the panko crumbs and stir until well mixed.

Put it back inside the microwave and heat for about 15 seconds.

Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts and spread it evenly.
