Instructions
Creating Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Chicken: Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1-inch thick). Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Set Up Breading Stations: In three separate shallow dishes, set out the flour, beaten eggs, and a mix of Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
4. Coat the Chicken: First, dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly with the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray for optimal crispiness.
6. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
