Instructions
Creating the perfect Longhorn Parmesan Crusted Chicken is easier than you might think! Follow these simple steps for delicious results:
1. Preheat the Oven: If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Chicken Breasts: Pat the chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
3. Prepare Crust Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Egg Wash: In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
5. Dredge Chicken: Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the egg wash, coating thoroughly. Allow excess to drip off.
6. Coat with Mixture: Next, press each chicken breast into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
7. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
8. Drizzle with Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil or melted butter over the chicken for extra crispiness.
9. Bake: Place in preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
10. Serve with Lemon: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges for a fresh burst of taste.
