🔥 7 Directions — Step-by-Step
1️⃣ Prep the Chicken Cutlets
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Place between parchment sheets and gently pound to even thickness. This ensures the chicken cooks quickly and evenly while staying juicy.
2️⃣ Set Up the Breading Station
In three shallow bowls:
• Bowl 1 – Flour + salt + pepper
• Bowl 2 – Beaten eggs
• Bowl 3 – Breadcrumbs + Parmesan + garlic powder + onion powder + Italian seasoning
This layered seasoning gives the coating its signature LongHorn-style flavor.
3️⃣ Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off excess.
Dip into the beaten eggs.
Press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture so the crust sticks well.
Place on a tray and let rest 10 minutes—this helps the breading adhere and crisp.
4️⃣ Pan-Fry Until Golden
Heat a generous layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook each breaded chicken cutlet for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5️⃣ Layer the Chicken Parmesan
Place the fried chicken in a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece, then top generously with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Don’t be shy—the melty cheese is what makes this dish irresistible.
6️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden. This step heats the chicken through and melds all the flavors together.
7️⃣ Garnish & Serve
Top with fresh chopped basil or parsley. Serve over pasta, with garlic bread, or as its own hearty main dish. LongHorn-style goodness, right from your kitchen!
