Easy Longhorn steakhouse parmesan crusted chicken recipe
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prep your Chicken
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
Make the Parmesan Crust
- While the chicken cooks, mix the ranch dressing, mayonnaise, and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese in a bowl. This creamy mixture is the key to replicating the Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Crusted Chicken recipe. Spread this topping generously over each chicken breast.
Add the Cheesy Layer
- Sprinkle the shredded provolone (or mozzarella) on top of the creamy layer. Then, mix the remaining Parmesan with the panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and a light drizzle of olive oil. Spread this crispy layer over the cheese.
Bake to Perfection
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden and bubbly. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes
