How to Make Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts, boneless skinless
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 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

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In one dish, mix the breadcrumbs, half of the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another dish, beat together the eggs and milk.
4. Place the flour in a third dish.
5. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Transfer the golden chicken to a baking dish.
8. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and minced garlic. Top the chicken with this mixture.
9. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

How to Serve Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

Once the chicken is ready, you can serve it hot, straight from the oven. It pairs well with a side of pasta, a fresh salad, or some steamed vegetables. Drizzle a little extra olive oil or a light sauce for added flavor.

How to Store Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

To store any leftovers, let the chicken cool to room temperature. Place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator, where it will last for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cooked chicken in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

Tips to Make Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

Variation

For a different twist, you can add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the cheese mixture before topping the chicken. This adds an extra layer of flavor and nutrition.
