Awesome Copycat Longhorn Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Ingredients
- 4 skinless/boneless chicken breasts pounded to ¾ inch thick
- Salt/Pepper to taste
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Marinade:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Parmesan Crust
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese chopped into bits
- 3/4 cup Provolone cheese chopped into bits
- 6 Tablespoons Buttermilk Ranch salad dressing
- 1 cup panko
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 5 Tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Whisk all marinade ingredients together until well-combined
and uniform in consistency. - Place the chicken in a gallon freezer bag, remove the air,
and seal. Use a meat mallet to pound it to ¾ inch thick. - Sprinkle each side of the chicken lightly with salt and
pepper if desired. - Place the chicken in a new freezer bag along with the
marinade. Seal out the air and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or
overnight. - Heat 2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet
over medium-high heat. - Sear the chicken in the hot skillet on each side. Refrain
from moving the chicken around as it sizzles, it will hinder the nice golden
sear color. If the pan gets too hot, reduce the heat to medium. Each side will
take 3-5 minutes. Once each side is a nice, golden brown and the middle is
cooked, set the chicken aside.
Parmesan Crust
- Preheat the oven to a low broil.
- Combine the chopped Parmesan, Provolone, and Buttermilk
Ranch dressing in a small bowl. - Microwave for 30 seconds.
- Use the back of a fork to mash and stir the cheese around
until they’re about the consistency of lumpy mashed potatoes. - Microwave for an additional 15 seconds. Stir, and spread on
top of the chicken. - Combine the panko with the garlic powder. Stir in the melted
butter, this allows the Panko topping to brown, otherwise it can immediately
burn. Top the chicken with it. Broil 1-2 minutes until the cheese is hot and melted, keep a
close eye to ensure it doesn’t burn.Serve with mashed potatoes and enjoy!
