Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp ranch dressing
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for even cooking.
- Season the Chicken: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and season them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Rub the seasoning evenly on both sides.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Parmesan Crust: In a small bowl, mix grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, minced garlic, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing until well combined.
- Assemble the Topping: Place a slice of Provolone cheese on top of each chicken breast. Then, spread a generous amount of the Parmesan crust mixture over the cheese.
- Broil to Perfection: Preheat the oven’s broiler. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes or until the topping becomes golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Enjoy your homemade Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Crusted Chicken!
Notes
- Spicy Version: Add crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Cheese Swap: Try using Mozzarella or Swiss cheese instead of Provolone for a different flavor.
- Air Fryer Method: Cook the chicken in an air fryer at 375°F for about 12-15 minutes, then broil the topping separately before assembling.
- Low-Carb Option: Substitute crushed pork rinds for the panko breadcrumbs to make this keto-friendly.
