Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make this Longhorn parmesan crusted chicken recipe come to life:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (evenly pounded)
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or try Italian-style for more flavor!)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated = best flavor!)
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup milk
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoon olive oil

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Set your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish.

2. Set Up Breading Stations

Prepare three shallow dishes:

• Dish 1: All-purpose flour
• Dish 2: Beaten eggs + milk
• Dish 3: Bread crumbs + half of the Parmesan + seasoning

3. Dredge the Chicken

One piece at a time:

1. Dredge in flour
2. Dip in egg wash
3. Press into breadcrumb mixture until fully coated

4. Pan-Sear for Golden Crust

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Then, transfer to your baking dish.

5. Cheese It Up!

Mix the remaining Parmesan, mozzarella, and garlic. Top each chicken breast generously.

6. Bake to Finish

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until internal temp hits 165°F and cheese is bubbly.

Chef’s Secrets for Success

• Pound that chicken: Even thickness = even cooking.
• Use fresh Parmesan: It melts better and tastes richer.
• Tent with foil if your cheese browns too fast.
• Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing—locks in all the juicy goodness.

Delicious Pairings & Serving Ideas

This dish is rich and savory—so I love balancing it with:

• Creamy garlic mashed potatoes
• Steamed asparagus or roasted broccoli
• Classic Caesar salad
• Crusty artisan bread to scoop up that gooey cheese
• A glass of chilled Pinot Grigio for a restaurant vibe at home
