Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt (optional, depending on dressing)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven

    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

  • Prepare the Chicken

    • Place chicken breasts in the baking dish. If thick, pound slightly for even cooking.

  • Make the Caesar Coating

    • In a bowl, mix Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper.

  • Coat the Chicken

    • Spread the Caesar mixture evenly over the chicken.

  • Bake the Chicken

    • Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  • Add Cheese (Optional)

    • If using mozzarella, sprinkle on top in the last 5 minutes of baking.
    • Broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden, bubbly top.

  • Garnish and Serve

    • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the Caesar mixture.
  • Crunchy Topping: Mix in panko breadcrumbs with cheese for a crispy finish.
  • Low-Carb Option: Serve with cauliflower rice or steamed greens.
  • Dairy-Free Alternative: Use a dairy-free Caesar dressing and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
  • Extra Herbs: Add Italian seasoning or fresh thyme for extra depth.
