🍗 LongHorn Steakhouse Copycat Parmesan Crusted Chicken

This restaurant-style chicken is juicy, flavorful, and topped with a rich,
cheesy Parmesan crust. It tastes just like the LongHorn favorite—and it’s
surprisingly easy to make at home.

🧾 Ingredients

Chicken

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Parmesan Crust Topping

• 1/2 cup ranch dressing
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pound chicken breasts slightly to even thickness.
Rub with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder,
paprika, salt, and pepper.

2️⃣ Sear the Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer to a baking dish.

3️⃣ Make the Parmesan Crust

In a bowl, mix ranch dressing, Parmesan cheese, provolone (or mozzarella),
panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley until combined.

4️⃣ Assemble

Spoon a generous amount of the Parmesan mixture over each chicken breast,
spreading evenly.

5️⃣ Bake

Bake uncovered for 18–22 minutes,
or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C)
and topping is golden and bubbly.

6️⃣ Optional Broil

For an extra-crispy top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Watch closely to avoid burning.
