Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken


Ingredients:

→Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

→ Breading and Coating
1 cup bread crumbs (without problem ingredients)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (if tolerated)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk

→ Cheese Topping
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (if tolerated)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Cooking Fat
2 tablespoons olive oil


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

2. In a shallow dish, mix bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

3. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk until combined.

4. Place all-purpose flour in a third shallow dish for coating chicken.

5. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg mixture, then coat evenly with bread crumb mixture.

6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.

7. Transfer seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish.

8. Combine remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and minced garlic. Sprinkle evenly over chicken breasts.

9. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and cheese topping is melted and bubbly.

10. Remove from oven and serve immediately, optionally alongside mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.



• Storage Tips
Allow the chicken to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit to maintain crispiness or use a skillet for a quick crisp-up.

• Ingredient Substitutions
You can swap out Italian bread crumbs for plain bread crumbs plus extra Italian seasoning if you want more control over flavors. Use provolone or Monterey Jack cheese (if tolerated) instead of mozzarella for a different melty texture. Chicken thighs work too though cooking times will vary.

• Pro Tips
Make sure to shake off excess flour before dipping the chicken in the egg wash to ensure even coating. Do not skip the step of browning the chicken in the skillet it adds an important texture and flavor layer. Use fresh Parmesan cheese for grating as pre-grated varieties often contain anti-clumping agents that prevent melting properly.
