Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Large Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Tongs
  • Oven
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the dredging station: In one bowl, add flour and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
  3. Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the flour first, ensuring it is coated evenly. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally, coat it with the parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Press down gently to make sure the breadcrumbs stick well.
  4. Cook the chicken: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Bake in the oven: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking sheet and place them in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the crust is crispy.
  6. Serve: Once the chicken is done, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Notes

While cooking the Longhorn Parmesan Crusted Chicken, make sure to monitor the temperature of the chicken. If the chicken is too thick, it might take a little longer to cook through. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the ideal internal temperature of 165°F. This will guarantee that the chicken is perfectly cooked without being dry.
