Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Crusted Chicken

This is just a summary, the full recipe is below. Start by cutting the chicken breasts in half to create four fillets. Or you can buy 4 thin cut chicken breasts as well. And you can also use thighs if you prefer!

In a bowl, mix together the ranch dressing, Italian dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, and black pepper. This marinade not only infuses the chicken with flavor but also helps to tenderize it, ensuring every bite is juicy and delicious.

Place the chicken fillets in a large Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, but for the best results, let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.

In a separate bowl, combine the shredded Parmesan cheese with the ranch dressing. Set this mixture aside for later.

In another bowl, mix together the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. This combination creates a crispy, flavorful topping that will elevate the dish.

Heat the avocado oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken fillets and cook until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to a low broil.

Once the chicken is cooked, place a slice of provolone cheese and half a slice of mozzarella cheese on each fillet. Then, generously top each piece with the Parmesan and ranch mixture you prepared earlier. Transfer the chicken to the oven for about five minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the chicken from the broiler and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top. Return it to the broiler for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and toasty.

Your delicious Parmesan crusted chicken is now ready! Serve it alongside creamy garlic mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, and cheesy garlic bread for a complete meal. Just look at how juicy that chicken is!
