Ingredients

• Chicken breasts- use two large ones similar in size.
• Dried dill, parsley, basil, and oregano- for a delicious blend of flavors that balance each other out so well. 
• Garlic powder- to add some savoriness to the dried herbs.
• Kosher salt and black pepper- for more flavor. 
• Extra virgin olive oil

By the way, this chicken goes incredible dipped in this chipotle mayo or smothered in this white country gravy, so you'll want to make sure you have what you need to make one of those recipes.

How To Make Texas Roadhouse Herb Crusted Chicken

Step 1: Making The Texas Roadhouse Herb Mixture

Alright, first things first, you'll want to add and mix all of the herbs and seasonings in a bowl.

Then, once all of the seasonings are mixed up well for this Texas roadhouse herb crusted chicken, you can set them aside for later.

Step 2: Preparing The Chicken Breasts

Alright, so the next step is going to be tenderizing and flattening your chicken breasts.

So, to do that, you'll want to cover the chicken with plastic wrap and use a mallet to flatten the chicken breasts until they're about ¼ inch thick.

Alright, so once the chicken is the right thickness, you want to coat it in the herb crust seasoning until it's fully covered on both sides.

Step 3: Cooking The Texas Roadhouse Chicken

So, now it's time to cook this Texas Roadhouse chicken.

To cook it, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a nonstick skillet. Then, add the chicken to the pan and fry for 5 minutes per side or until the crust is toasted.

Next, lower the temperature to medium-low and finish cooking the chicken for around 10 more minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts.

Once your Texas roadhouse chicken is cooked to perfection, serve it with the sides of your choice and enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Season the chicken the day before cooking for maximum flavor.
• Make sure you thoroughly season the chicken on both sides for the best flavor that tastes just like the restaurants.
• Make sure you cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165 ºF.
• Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes after cooking so it stays nice and juicy. Then slice and serve. 

How To Store This Herb Crusted Chicken

This herb crusted chicken recipe is not only simple to make, but it makes for perfect leftovers. And as I mentioned, this delicious herb crusted chicken recipe will make 2 large servings.

So you might want to double or triple this recipe because it's so good leftover.

And if you end up with leftovers, you can store them in the fridge or freezer.

Having said that, this Texas Roadhouse herb crusted chicken will last in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3-4 months.

How To Reheat This Chicken

I've found the best way to reheat the herb crusted chicken is to heat it in the oven. To do this, preheat the oven to 400°F. Then, take the chicken out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Now place the chicken on a baking dish and heat for about 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F again. 

You can also microwave the chicken in 20-second increments until warm for a quicker method, but I'm not a fan of the texture it gives the chicken.
