Longhorn Parmesan Crusted Chicken is a flavorful, crispy, restaurant-style dish you can easily make at home. Juicy chicken breasts are coated in a seasoned Parmesan breadcrumb crust and baked until golden for a satisfying and cheesy dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone (for topping)
  • Optional: fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish or line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Flatten chicken breasts to even thickness using a meat mallet.
  3. In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg, then coat in breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
  5. Place coated chicken on prepared baking dish and drizzle with olive oil or melted butter.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. If using cheese topping, add during the last 5 minutes of baking to melt.
  8. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Add Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
  • Spread Dijon mustard or ranch on chicken before breading for tang.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a GF version.
  • Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
