Texas Roadhouse Herb Crusted Chicken Recipe

Herb Crusted Chicken Texas Roadhouse Ingredients:

For the chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (around 6-8oz each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

For the herb crust:

1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried dill
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs

Additional:

1 lemon, halved
Olive oil for cooking
Sides of your choice (e.g., mashed potatoes, green beans)

Instructions for Herb Crusted Chicken Texas Roadhouse

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
Combine all the herb crust ingredients in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the herb mixture, pressing firmly to coat evenly.
Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange lemon halves face down next to the chicken.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your chosen sides and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a brighter flavor.

Tips:

For a more flavorful crust, marinate the chicken in olive oil, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
You can substitute panko breadcrumbs for a lighter and airier crust.
Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices to your preference.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a hint of heat.
For a thicker crust, repeat the dredging process before pan-searing.
To keep the chicken moist, baste it with pan drippings while baking.
