Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)
For the Parmesan Crust:
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
For the Ranch Spread:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Set the chicken aside to rest.
- Make the Ranch Spread:
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ranch dressing, and garlic powder together until well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare the Parmesan Crust:
- In another bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, provolone (or mozzarella), and panko breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the melted butter, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard until the mixture becomes crumbly but holds together.
- Assemble and Broil:
- Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
- Place the seared chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
- Spread a layer of the ranch spread on each chicken breast.
- Top each chicken breast with a generous amount of the Parmesan crust mixture, pressing it down slightly to help it adhere.
- Broil the Chicken:
- Place the chicken under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Serve:
- Serve your Parmesan Crusted Chicken with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a fresh salad. Enjoy this LongHorn Steakhouse-inspired recipe at home!
Notes
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella if you prefer a milder flavor.
- To make the chicken extra crispy, you can add some crushed crackers to the Parmesan crust mixture.
