Description
A delicious, budget-friendly dish that replicates the famed Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken, perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup bread crumbs (panko recommended)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, half of the Parmesan cheese, and seasonings (Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper).
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until well mixed.
- Place the flour in a third dish for dredging.
- Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, ensuring it’s completely coated. Shake off any excess.
- Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any extra to drip off.
- Finally, coat the chicken with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it gently to adhere.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining Parmesan with mozzarella and minced garlic. Top each chicken piece with this cheesy mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the cheese is bubbly.
Notes
For extra juicy chicken, consider brining the breasts in a saltwater solution a few hours before cooking. Fresh herbs can enhance the flavor of the breadcrumb mixture.
