Longhorn Garlic Parmesan Crusted Chicken

You no longer have to make the trip to Longhorn Steakhouse if you’re in the mood for grilled chicken, when this copycat version of the recipe is every bit as scrumptious. It boasts juicy chicken, a piquant ranch-based marinade, parmesan crumbs on top, and all the amazing flavors you’d hope for.

There’s no way you’re going to regret making this wonderful dish. In fact, it’s one of the very best dishes you can make with chicken.

The last step is adding the ranch spread to the chicken and then adding the provolone cheese and parmesan crumbs on top and broil until golden and completely irresistible! You’re going to love this recipe.
