This post is inspired by one of my favorite restaurant chain meals of all time…LongHorn’s Parmesan Crusted Chicken. That’s right folks my go to meal at a steak house is chicken, but it’s literally so good! This marinated chicken is topped with a cheesy panko bread crumb mixture that is pure heaven.
I like to marinate the chicken overnight, but you could probably get away with marinating it for just an hour or two. This is a perfect dish for a quiet date night at home or for family dinner. I like to serve this paired with creamy mashed potatoes and a veggie.
