Instructions
Creating Longhorn Parmesan Crusted Chicken is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps to achieve a delightful dish:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Chicken: If the chicken breasts are thick, consider pounding them to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Set Up Dredging Station: In three separate shallow dishes, create a dredging station. Place flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper in the third.
4. Dredge the Chicken: First, coat each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the breaded chicken breasts on the greased baking sheet.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle the tops of the chicken with olive oil for a crispy finish.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
8. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
9. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a pop of color.
These steps will guide you in creating this incredible Parmesan Crusted Chicken that is both delicious and impressive.
