This Copycat Longhorn's Parmesan Crusted Chicken is spot on with what you get at the restaurant. This recipe came straight from one of the chefs in their kitchen so I wanted to share it with you as well. For more restaurant inspiration, check out Best Copycat Recipes.
My favorite restaurant for date night is Longhorn's. Parmesan Crusted Chicken is our food of choice because we love the flavors.
We love it so much I decided to recreate it. It had THE BEST taste.
I asked our waitress what was in the sauce and she gave me the COMPLETE recipe!
Putting together the Longhorn's Parmesan Crusted Chicken
I made my version of it last night and it was SO good! Stephen even said it was his new favorite. I paired it with my blistered green beans, homemade mashed potatoes, and no-knead bread. It was a wonderful restaurant meal for a fraction of the price!
You would not think that ranch and Parmesan cheese would be good together but it is delicious!
The panko bread crumbs add a little bit of a crunch and add a touch of elegance not expected.
This would be such a great meal to fix for a date night at home! Be sure to use a good oven thermometer when cooking your chicken.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken
This easy and delicious chicken recipe will have you drooling
Ingredients
- 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of creamy ranch dressing
- 1 cup of parmesan cheese
- 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- 1 cup of Panko bread crumbs
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165.
- While the chicken is baking, mix together ranch, parmesan cheese, garlic, and ¼ cup of provolone cheese, and then set this mixture aside.
- After the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the oven and turn your broiler on. Take your creamy cheese mixture and put it on each piece of chicken. Put it on as thick as you like. Sprinkle on each piece of chicken the remaining provolone cheese. Top that with a sprinkling of the panko bread crumbs.
- Place chicken under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the panko bread crumbs have browned a little on top.
- Enjoy!

I tried this last night and it was AWESOME. I added some sun dried tomatoes to it...... A new favorite for my family.
Thank you for the kind comments! So glad that you enjoyed it.
I noticed that my chicken at Longhorns last night had a little brown type of juice to it. Do you baste yours with anything? Also, what temperature and how long do you bake the chicken before adding the topping?
No. I don't use anything like that. The temperature should be at 350 degrees and I bake the chicken with the topping on. Hope that helps.
Yes, there is a marinade Long Horn uses. It has 1/2 cup ranch, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons Worchestire, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and 2 cloves (minced) garlic.
I was looking for the Longhorn recipe for parmesan crusted chicken. I found two, yours and another. The picture from the other one looked more like it and that recipe had a lot of great reviews. So I decided to go with that one, and it was really good. That recipe had at least double the ingredients and you even had to marinate the chicken overnight. The next day, since I had some chicken left, and all the ingredients for your recipe, I decided to try it to compare. Well yours was better!!! And it is so simple to make. Will be making it very often. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Thank you so much for this recipe, I'm in love! My family loved it, and so did I. Keep up the good work!
So glad you like it Natasha! I have a lot of other recipes I have been sharing recently. Thanks for letting me know your family loved it. It's one of our favorites!
I think there is a typo in this recipe it says to bake the chicken one to five minutes which it probably should be more like 25 to 30
thank you for catching that! I have updated the recipe.
