Description
Prepare to embark on a culinary adventure with the mouthwatering Longhorn Parmesan Crusted Chicken! This irresistible dish combines the juicy tenderness of chicken with the irresistible crunch of a Parmesan-infused breadcrumb coating.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
1. Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will ensure they cook evenly and remain juicy. Season the chicken lightly with a touch of salt and pepper.
2. Prepare a breading station with three separate bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, dip them in the egg mixture, and then coat them thoroughly in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly coated for maximum crispiness.
4. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and minced garlic. Place a generous spoonful of this cheese mixture on top of each cooked chicken breast.
6. Cover the pan with a lid or place it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve the Longhorn Parmesan Crusted Chicken hot, alongside your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
For best results, opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
The key to achieving a crispy, crunchy crust lies in the breading process.
To get that irresistible, melty cheese topping, watch the chicken closely as it finishes cooking.
