Instructions
Creating Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken is easy to follow when you break it down into steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness, about 3/4 inch thick.
3. Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until beaten.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
5. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
6. Dredge in the Mixture: Next, dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to ensure an even coating.
7. Prepare to Bake: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the tops for added crispiness.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
9. Check for Doneness: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C). Use a meat thermometer to accurately check.
10. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color.
By following each of these steps, you will have successfully created juicy and flavorful Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken that will amaze your taste buds.
