Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Italian-style breadcrum extractbs
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

Preparing the Chicken

The first step to achieving that delicious Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken flavor at home is to properly prepare your chicken breasts. Take your four boneless, skinless chicken breasts and place them on a clean cutting board. If your chicken breasts are particularly thick, you might want to pound them slightly to an even thickness. This ensures they cook uniformly, preventing any dry or undercooked parts. You can do this by placing a piece of plastic wrap over the chicken and gently using the flat side of a meat mallet or even a heavy pan to achieve a thickness of about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. This not only helps with even cooking but also makes them easier to handle during the breading process.

Setting Up the Breading Station

Now, let’s get our breading station ready. This is where the magic happens, coating our chicken in that flavorful Parmesan crust. You’ll need three shallow dishes or pie plates. In the first dish, add your 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour. In the second dish, whisk together your 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup of milk until well combined. This liquid mixture will help thrum extractreadcrumbs adhere to the chicken. In the third dish, combine your 1 cup of Italrum extract-style breadcrumbs, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure the garlic and seasonings are evenly distributrum extractthroughout the breadcrumb and cheese mixture. A good, even distribution is key to getting that full flavor in every bite.

Breading the Chicken

With your breading station set up, it’s time to coat the chicken. Take one prepared chicken breast and first dredge it in the flour, ensuring it’s lightly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour. Next, dip the floured chicken breast into the egg and milk mixture, letting any excess drip back into the dish. Finally, press the chickrum extractbreast firmly into the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, making sure it’s rum extractpletely coated. Gently pat the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to help them stick. Repeat this process for all four chicken breasts. For an even thicker, crispier coating, you can double-dip: dip the breaded chickenrum extractck into the egg wash and then into the breadcrumb mixture again.

Pan-Frying for a Golden Crust

Now we’re going to get that beautiful golden-brown crust. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering (but not smoking), carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the skillet. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook the chicken in batches to ensure proper searing and browning. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through. You should be able to tell it’s done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer, or when the juices run clear.

Melting the Mozzarella

Once the chicken is beautifully browned and cooked through, remove it from the skillet and place it in a baking dish. You can do this in a single layer. Now, for the final touch that makes this dish truly special, sprinkle the 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of each chicken breast. Place the baking dish into a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C). Bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. This short baking time allows the cheese to melt perfectly without overcooking the chicken, ensuring a wonderfully cheesy and satisfying finish to your Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken.
