This LongHorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken brings bold flavor and crispy texture together in one unforgettable dish. With a golden-baked Parmesan crust and tender, juicy chicken breast at the center, this recipe turns an everyday meal into a crave-worthy experience. Inspired by the popular steakhouse favorite, this homemade version is easy to whip up and just as satisfying.

Whether you’re cooking for a weeknight family dinner or looking to impress guests with something a little special, this Parmesan Chicken delivers. The crispy coating is loaded with herbs, garlic, and cheese, creating a flavor-packed crust that’s both comforting and indulgent.

What Makes This Chicken So Irresistible?

The secret lies in the crunchy Parmesan and panko coating. Unlike regular fried chicken, this one is oven-baked, making it lighter but still gloriously crispy. And when that cheesy coating meets the juicy chicken breast inside? Magic. Serve it fresh with your favorite sides, and you’re in for a restaurant-quality meal at home.

Ingredients for the LongHorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

• Chicken Breasts: Use boneless, skinless breasts pounded evenly for quick and even cooking.
• Mayonnaise: Helps the Parmesan coating stick while locking in moisture.
• Parmesan Cheese: Grated and finely packed to form that signature crust.
• Panko Breadcrumbs: Gives the chicken its golden crunch.
• Italian Seasoning: Adds aromatic flavor to every bite.
• Garlic Powder: For that savory, garlicky depth.
• Salt & Black Pepper: Essential for seasoning both the chicken and the coating.
• Chopped Parsley: Optional garnish for a pop of color and freshness.

How To Make the LongHorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thick. This helps them cook evenly and stay juicy. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Mix the Coating

In a bowl, mix together grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. In another bowl, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over each chicken breast.

Step 3: Coat the Chicken

Press each mayo-coated breast into the Parmesan mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly. Lay the coated chicken on a greased baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake Until Crispy

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the crust is golden brown. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes to crisp the top.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh finish.
