How To Make Texas Roadhouse Herb Crusted Chicken
Ingredients needed for the recipe
- Chicken breast
- Dried herbs (dill, parsley, basil, oregano)
- Garlic powder
- Salt & black pepper
- Oil for cooking
Tips, where the recipe can go wrong
- Avoid extra thick chicken breast. I do not suggest thin breast but you need to flatten the chicken breast using a rolling pin or meat tenderizer, it’s too thick straight from the packaging. What will happen is the crust will burn before the chicken can cook through fully if it’s too thick.
- Medium heat, you want it hot enough to sizzle. This way you get a good, golden herb crust with juicy chicken. So a medium temp is suggested for cooking.
- Do not spread the herb crust on thick. You should be able to coat 4 chicken breast with the herb crust listed in the recipe.
Making the Texas Roadhouse herb crusted chicken copycat
- In a small bowl, combine the herb crust using the dried herbs and the other seasonings listed.
- Next, flatten the chicken breast using a meat tenderizer or a rolling pin. The chicken should be no more than one inch thick at its thickest part.
- Massage the herb crust over the chicken. You only need enough to cover the chicken, do not try to make it a thick paste on the chicken breast.
- In a frying pan on medium heat add some cooking oil. Cook and sear the chicken on both sides until the chicken is cooked all the way through. The chicken should turn golden like you see in the photos with the herbs forming a somewhat crispy crust on the chicken.
- Lastly, allow the chicken to cool a bit before serving, enjoy.
