How To Make the LongHorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

Flatten the chicken breasts to about half an inch thick. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Step 2: Breading Station Setup

Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mix of panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.

Step 3: Bread the Chicken

Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in the egg wash, then coat with the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture. Press gently to help the coating stick well.

Step 4: Pan-Sear for Crispiness

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5: Bake and Melt

Place seared chicken breasts in a baking dish. Top each with a spoonful of ranch or Alfredo sauce and sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top. Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly.
