A homemade version of Longhorn Steakhouse’s Parmesan Crusted Chicken, featuring marinated chicken breasts, a creamy ranch dressing, and a crispy, cheesy topping. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup Italian dressing
  • ⅓ cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 ounces provolone cheese, shredded or diced
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup ranch dressing
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing and ranch dressing to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to a low broil (approximately 450°F).
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the provolone cheese, parmesan cheese, and ranch dressing. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is mostly melted and smooth.
  5. In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and melted butter until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
  6. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  7. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
  8. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each piece of chicken.
  9. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the cheese.
  10. Place the skillet under the broiler and cook for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor.
  • You can swap provolone for mozzarella, Swiss, or Gouda for a different flavor profile.
  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Herbs like thyme or rosemary can be incorporated into the breadcrumb topping for extra aroma.
