A homemade take on the famous Parmesan Crusted Chicken from Longhorn Steakhouse! This juicy, flavorful chicken is topped with a crispy, cheesy crust and baked to golden perfection. It’s easy to make with simple ingredients and perfect for a restaurant-style dinner at home.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and ranch dressing until combined.
Place the seared chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Sprinkle shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese over each piece, then evenly spread the parmesan breadcrumb mixture on top.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) internally.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
