Description

This Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken recipe features tender boneless chicken breasts seared to golden perfection, then baked with a creamy ranch dressing and a blend of Parmesan, provolone, mozzarella, and Romano cheeses. Topped with seasoned breadcrumbs, this flavorful and cheesy chicken bake delivers a crispy crust and melty interior, perfect for a comforting dinner. Ideal for American cuisine lovers seeking a restaurant-style meal at home, with optional gluten-free adjustments.

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Cheese Mixture

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese

Toppings and Dressing

  • 1 cup creamy ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Flatten the chicken breasts evenly to ensure uniform cooking. Season both sides thoroughly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Mix Cheeses: In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, shredded provolone, shredded mozzarella, and grated Romano cheeses. Stir to evenly mix.
  4. Assemble in Baking Dish: Arrange the seared chicken breasts in a baking dish. Generously spread a spoonful of creamy ranch dressing over the top of each breast. Sprinkle the prepared cheese mixture evenly over every piece, then top with seasoned breadcrumbs.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the cheese topping is melted, golden, and bubbly.
  6. Optional Broil: For an extra crispy crust, broil the chicken for the last 2 minutes of baking while keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. Serve: Serve the Parmesan chicken hot, ideally with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cheese blend with Italian cheese if provolone or Romano are unavailable.
  • Broiling for 2 minutes at the end enhances the crispiness of the breadcrumb topping.
  • This dish pairs excellently with creamy mashed potatoes or fresh steamed vegetables.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and ranch dressing.
