Tips for Making the Best Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken
Pound the chicken: For even cooking, pound the chicken to an even thickness before breading. This ensures that it cooks evenly and remains juicy.
Use fresh ingredients: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will provide a more robust flavor than pre-grated cheese. The texture is also superior when using fresh cheese.
Don’t skip the seasonings: Season each step of the dredging process (flour, eggs, and breadcrumb mixture) to enhance the overall flavor of the chicken.
Bake for extra crispiness: Baking the chicken after frying not only ensures that it cooks through but also helps maintain the crispy coating.
Experiment with flavors: Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices to the breadcrumb mixture for a personalized touch.
Storage and Leftovers
Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Chicken can be stored and reheated with ease:
Mashed potatoes: Creamy mashed potatoes complement the crispy chicken beautifully.
Steamed vegetables: Lightly steamed asparagus, broccoli, or green beans provide a fresh, healthy contrast.
Caesar salad: A classic Caesar salad adds a refreshing touch to the meal.
Garlic bread: Serve with garlic bread for a heartier meal, perfect for soaking up any leftover sauce.
Pasta: Pair the chicken with a side of pasta, drizzled with olive oil and herbs or tossed in marinara sauce.
