  • to taste Salt
  • to taste pepper

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Shallow Dishes
  • Oven-safe skillet
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, salt, and pepper. A second with beaten eggs. The third with Parmesan cheese and Italian breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shake off excess.
  4. Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, making sure it's fully coated.
  5. Press the chicken into the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly.
  6. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  7. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  9. Meanwhile, prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce (if using): Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  10. Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  11. Serve the Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken immediately, drizzled with lemon butter sauce (optional).

Notes

To achieve the perfect Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken, start with high-quality Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan has a richer flavor and melts beautifully during baking, contributing to a more satisfying crispy crust. Be careful not to overcook the chicken; it should be moist and tender. Searing the chicken in a hot skillet before baking is crucial for developing a golden-brown crust. Ensure the skillet is oven-safe to simplify the process. If the breadcrumb mixture doesn't adhere well, try adding a tablespoon of olive oil to evenly moisten the breadcrumbs, assisting in sticking to the chicken. Experiment with seasonings to craft your own signature twist.
