This is a good recipe, but it’s not really Longhorn’s… Here’s a much closer one.

Copycat LongHorn Steakhouse Parmesan-Crusted Chicken

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts (about 5 oz each)

  • 3 Tbsp canola oil (for searing)

  • 4 slices provolone cheese

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan

  • ¼ cup ranch dressing

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (garnish) YouTube

Notes from popular tested versions: some recipes marinate the chicken in Italian + ranch dressing first and use a provolone/Parmesan/ranch “spread” under the panko for extra melt. Optional but tasty. The Country Cook+1

Directions

  1. Prep & preheat. Heat oven to 450°F (or set broiler to low). Pat chicken dry and season lightly with salt/pepper.

  2. Sear the chicken. Heat canola oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 3–4 min per side until golden and ~150–155°F internal. Remove from heat. YouTube

  3. Make the cheese spread. Stir together ¼ cup Parmesan + ¼ cup ranch until combined. (Common copycat approach to get the signature creamy layer.) The Country Cook+1

  4. Make the crumb topping. Mix panko + garlic powder + melted butter with a pinch of salt. YouTube

  5. Assemble. Spread a spoonful of the Parmesan-ranch over each chicken breast. Top each with 1 slice provolone, then mound on some panko mixture. The Country Cook+1

  6. Melt & brown. Move skillet to the oven (or a sheet pan). Broil or bake until cheese is melted, crumbs are toasted, and chicken hits 165°F, about 3–6 minutes depending on your oven.

  7. Finish. Rest 3 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Optional marinade (restaurant-style vibe)

Whisk ½ cup Italian dressing + ⅓ cup ranch; coat chicken and marinate 30 minutes to overnight before searing. Pat off excess before step 2. The Country Cook
