Description

This Parmesan Chicken recipe gives you the crispy, cheesy goodness of Longhorn Steakhouse’s signature dish, but right from your own kitchen. The juicy chicken is breaded, fried, and smothered in a rich, creamy Parmesan sauce that makes for a perfect, comforting dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 to 2 pounds)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (divided: 1/2 cup for breading and 1/2 cup for the sauce)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp oil (vegetable or canola oil) for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • If the chicken breasts are thick, butterfly or pound them to ensure even cooking.
    • Season both sides of the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Bread the Chicken:

    • Mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
    • Dip each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
  3. Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Cook each piece for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Add the Creamy Parmesan Sauce:

    • In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, more Parmesan, garlic, and butter.
    • Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Pour the creamy sauce over the cooked chicken and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is pounded evenly for even cooking.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken to keep it crispy.
