Instructions
Creating Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken is quite straightforward. Follow these steps for a flawless dish:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray.
2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them to an even thickness, about ½ inch thick for even cooking.
3. Set Up Breading Station:
– In a shallow dish, place the flour.
– In another dish, whisk the eggs until well combined.
– In a third dish, mix the seasoned breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
4. Coat the Chicken:
– Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.
– Then, dip it into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.
– Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the breaded chicken breasts in a single layer on the greased baking sheet.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
7. Optional: For an extra crispy topping, you can broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
8. Garnish: Once removed from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch and extra flavor.
