Recreate the mouth-watering Parmesan Crusted Chicken from Longhorn Steakhouse in your own kitchen. Tender chicken breasts are topped with a creamy, cheesy crust and crispy breadcrumbs, making it an irresistible dish that will quickly become a weekend favorite.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded evenly
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden but not fully cooked through.
- Make the Parmesan Crust: In a bowl, mix ranch dressing, Caesar dressing, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Spread this mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
- Prepare the Topping: Combine panko breadcrumbs, remaining Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese in another bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the creamy layer on each chicken breast.
- Bake the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
For a twist, try different cheeses like Gruyère or add red pepper flakes for extra heat. For a low-carb version, substitute panko with crushed pork rinds.
