A flavorful and crispy Parmesan chicken inspired by Longhorn Steakhouse, easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for searing
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. In a bowl, mix the ranch dressing, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
  4. In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter.
  5. Spread the creamy ranch topping over the seared chicken. Sprinkle the panko mixture on top for that crispy finish.
  6. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Remove from the oven, let it rest briefly, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil for the last minute or two. Pair with a fresh side salad or roasted vegetables.
