Learn how to make Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken with this easy 7-step recipe. This dish features a crispy, parmesan-crusted chicken breast topped with marinara sauce, perfect for a family-friendly meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup flour
- Olive oil, for frying
- Marinara sauce (for serving)
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound the chicken to an even thickness of about ½ inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Set Up Breading Station: In three shallow dishes, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until hot.
- Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Serve with Sauce: Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Top each chicken breast with warm marinara sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve with your favorite side dishes like pasta or a fresh salad.
Notes
- For a healthier option, bake the breaded chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a spicy kick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze cooled chicken pieces tightly wrapped for up to 3 months.
