Instructions
Creating the Longhorn Parmesan Crusted Chicken is easy when you follow these concise steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly greasing a baking sheet.
2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound the chicken to an even thickness, about ½ inch.
3. Create Breading Mixture: In one bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
4. Dredge Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, coating evenly. Shake off excess flour, then dip into the beaten eggs. Finally, coat with the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle melted butter evenly over each piece for extra crunch.
6. Bake: Place the chicken in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the crust is golden brown.
7. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
8. Serve: Slice and serve hot with your favorite sides.
