tips to make Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken

• Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken, as this can cause the temperature to drop and the chicken may not crisp up properly.
• If you want a richer flavor, you can add some Italian herbs like basil or oregano to the breadcrumb mixture.
• For extra crispy chicken, consider letting the breaded chicken sit for a few minutes before cooking, allowing the coating to adhere better.

variation

You can easily customize this dish by adding different herbs and spices to the breadcrumb mixture. Try switching the cheeses with cheddar or adding a bit of spice with red pepper flakes for a kick. You can also use chicken thighs if you prefer darker meat.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken breasts?
Yes, but make sure to fully thaw them before cooking, as cooking from frozen will alter the cooking time.

Can I bake the chicken instead of frying it?
Absolutely! You can bake it directly after breading. Just increase the baking time to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F internally.

How do I know when the chicken is done?
The best way to know is by using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, cut into the chicken to make sure there’s no pink inside.
