1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

Directions:

First, preheat your oven to 375°F. Grab three shallow dishes. In the first one, mix together the breadcrumbs, half of the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In the second dish, beat the eggs with the milk. Leave the flour in the third dish as it is.

Now, take each chicken breast and dredge it in the flour. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mix. Make sure it’s well covered for that crispy texture.

Next, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown. Once golden, transfer the chicken to a baking dish.

In a bowl, mix the remaining Parmesan with the mozzarella and minced garlic. Spread this cheesy goodness over the chicken. Pop the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.

How to Serve Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

Once your chicken is golden and bubbly, it’s time to dig in! Serve it with a side of pasta, a fresh salad, or some steamed veggies. A sprinkle of parsley on top adds a nice pop of color. Your family and friends will love it!

How to Store Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

If you have leftovers (lucky you!), let the chicken cool completely. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat it in the oven to keep that crispy texture. Just pop it in at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed.

Tips to Make Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

For extra crunch, feel free to add some panko breadcrumbs to the mix!
Want a little kick? Sprinkle in some red pepper flakes with the breadcrumbs.
You can also marinate the chicken in Italian dressing for about an hour before dredging for even more flavor.

Variation

If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some fresh herbs, like basil or parsley, into the breadcrumb mixture. It elevates the dish and adds an extra layer of flavor.

FAQs

Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Absolutely! Chicken thighs will add a different flavor and stay juicier, so go for it if that’s what you prefer.

How do I know when the chicken is cooked through?

You can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. It should read 165°F to ensure it’s fully cooked.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the chicken up to the baking step, cover it, and refrigerate for a few hours (or overnight!). Just pop it in the oven when you’re ready.
