Instructions:

Prep the Chicken:

Make the Coating:

In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Press each chicken breast firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated.

Pan-Fry the Chicken:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F).

-
Add Cheese & Melt:
-
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over each chicken breast.

Cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt.

Tips for the Best Results:
✔ Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor and texture.
✔ For extra crispiness, double-coat the chicken (dip in beaten egg first, then breadcrumb mix).
✔ Baking Option: Bake at 375°F for 20-25 mins instead of frying for a lighter version.
This Parmesan Chicken is crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor—just like the Longhorn Steakhouse version! Would you like any side dish recommendations to go with it? 😊
