Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken–this ranch parmesan crusted chicken is a juicy, flavor-packed baked chicken recipe.
Baked Parmesan Chicken Recipe
This chicken recipe is super flavorful, cheesy and even a little toasty. You start with soaking the chicken in a marinade. I did this step the night before so the day I made this chicken went faster. The chicken is baked in the oven with a cheesy topping and a panko topping. We served this alongside potatoes and it was loved. I think next time I’ll bake it in a sheet pan so that it can get even crispier.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Chicken breasts–or chicken cutlets
- Olive oil–or avocado oil
- Ranch dressing
- Worcestershire sauce–or soy sauce
- White vinegar–or apple cider vinegar
- Lemon juice–or bottled lemon juice
- Garlic powder–or 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- Black pepper
- Parmesan cheese–or asiago cheese
- Mozzarella cheese–or provolone
- Butter
- Panko breadcrumbs
Steps
Slice each chicken breast horizontally through the middle (parallel to the cutting board) to create two thin cutlets.
In a gallon size ziploc bag add the olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder and black pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken cutlets into the bag, seal and refrigerate for 1 hour to overnight.
Heat oven to 400° F. Place chicken cutlets onto a baking sheet or into a 9×13 inch pan.
In a small bowl stir together the parmesan, mozzarella and ranch dressing. Spoon the mixture evenly over the chicken.
In a small bowl stir together the melted butter, panko and garlic powder. Spoon the mixture evenly over the top of the chicken.
Bake for 20 minutes. Test chicken for doneness. It should be 165° F in the middle. Then switch oven to broiler and broil just for a minute (watch closely so it doesn’t burn) to brown up the topping.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes/Tips
- Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli.
- Marinate longer (up to overnight) for deeper flavor, but even an hour helps a lot.
- If your chicken pieces are thick, pound them slightly for even cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the topping crispy (microwave will soften it).
- Other recipes you can make with panko are Instant Pot 3-Cheese Macaroni and Cheese and Air Fryer Weeknight Meatballs.
