## How To Make Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Crusted Chicken
## Ingredients :
For the Chicken:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Crust:
– 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup provolone cheese, sliced
– 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
## Directions :
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Put a skillet on medium heat, add olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown.
3. While the chicken is browning, prepare the crust. Take a bowl and mix in melted butter, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, Parmesan, and provolone cheese until combined well.
4. Layer the cheese blend evenly over the chicken breasts. Move the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the cheese layer is golden and bubbly.
5. Rest the cooked dish for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns from hot cheese.
