“FREAKING AWESOME” That is all Chicken Legs wants me to say about this chicken. He took one bite and said this was the best thing I’ve ever made. I had to agree, this was absolutely delicious! This recipe is from Longhorn Steakhouse. My Mom found the recipe in the paper. I love this dish at Longhorn’s and I was really excited to try it at home!
How to Make Longhorn Parmesan Chicken
I made this twice before I got it the way I wanted it. The original recipe called for the chicken to be cooked in a skillet on the stove. We tried it that way and it was good but not as good as I remembered. I wanted to give it another try and decided to grill the chicken. That made all the difference. It was just as good, if not better as it was in the restaurant. Chicken Legs has already asked to have it again this weekend. He also asked if I would make some extra chicken for lunch the next day.
This looks like a lot of ingredients, but it is really quick and easy. I marinated the chicken and prepared the ranch spread and parmesan crumb topping while Chicken Legs grilled the chicken. Dinner was ready in under 30 minutes! If you want to make this even easier, feel free to marinate the chicken in Italian dressing instead of my marinade.
To make this low-carb/keto-friendly, swap the panko bread crumbs for some crushed up pork rinds.

OMG, I finally found this receipe. This is my favorite dish at Longhorn and I tried to fix it but didn't have a clue of what I was doing! Thanks so much1
I have seen lots of awesome reviews of this dish and lots of people saying they love the Longhorn version. I am curious of those who made it and have eaten it at Longhorn, how it compares 🙂 Just curious, I can't wait to try it!
I've eaten both and this is very similar to Longhorn's version. In fact, I think it is better. So does my friend that turned me on to the chicken at Longhorn. We both prefer the home version.
I made this last night for my husband and I's anniversary dinner. It was AH-MAZING! By far the most incredible chicken dish ever!! This will become a regular menu item in our house! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!!
This was the greatest chicken I have ever made. If you are not sure after reading comments, go for it and make it. My whole family LOVED it, even young kids. This is our go to chicken recipe now. Oh, and I love your site.
Bacon13 – so glad your family loved the chicken! It is one of our all-time favorites too.
This is the dish that I almost always get at Longhorn! I was so excited to find the recipe. I made this chicken tonight & my family of 7 said it's the best chicken I've ever made! We all loved it! I used the canned parmesan in the ranch spread & a 'good' shredded parmesan in the crumb topping. I also used sliced provolone because that's what I had. Awesome recipe! thanks for sharing. I'm sure I'll be making it a few times a month!
Ashley – you could use some plain sour cream or Greek yogurt and add some spices to it
Maybe some bleu cheese yummers
I have tried several of your recipes and loved them! I would love to try this one but I do not like ranch. Is there something I could use instead?
This is probably the best thing I have ever made! Thanks again so much for posting it! I will definitely be making this again very soon 🙂
Cara – that is great news! I am so glad it was a hit. Thanks for letting me know.
This is an awesome recipe! I made it today for my mother-in-law and aunt and they said it's some of the best food they have ever had. Thank you!!
Omg this was to die for! Thank you! Soooo good. Love everything I have tried from your blog!
Jodi 🙂
I made this for dinner last night and my family loved it. Even my two girls who are very picky eaters gave this chicken two thumbs up. The chicken was so flavorful and delicious I will definitely be making this again. Thank you!
I was just wondering, where does the provolone come in? I see it in the ingredients sections but I can't seem to find it in the recipe?
In the last paragraph – you put the provolone on top of the ranch spread and top with the bread crumbs
This was amazing!! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂 YUMMY!!
Made this recipe tonight and it was delicious!
Can anything be substituted for shredded parmesan?
Lisa – you could use grated out of the trusty green can if you would like.
