Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper or cooking spray
  • 3 shallow bowls
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 meat mallet or rolling pin for flattening chicken
  • 1 tongs
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1.5 lbs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably Italian seasoned
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • ½ cup marinara sauce optional, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  • Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin to ensure they cook evenly.
  • In a shallow bowl, season the flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
  • In another shallow bowl, beat the two eggs.
  • In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Dip each chicken breast first into the flour mixture, making sure it's entirely coated. Shake off the excess.
  • Next, dip the flour-coated chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  • Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the crumbs.
  • Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with marinara sauce on the side, if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in Italian dressing for a couple of hours before breading.
You can serve the Parmesan chicken with pasta, salad, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy your homemade Longhorn Steakhouse-inspired dish!
