Parmesan Crusted Chicken
This recipe is a copy cat of my FAVORITE meal from longhorn steakhouse. Sometime copycat recipes can tatse good but not as good as the original. This recipe however is actually better in my opinion! Not to mention thats $15.99 I get to save now by preparing it on my own! If you’ve never had their parmesan crusted chicken then no worries! You still will love this recipe!
