Description
Tender, juicy chicken breasts coated in a creamy Caesar-Parmesan blend with a hint of herbs and spices. This easy, flavorful recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special gathering.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Prepare the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.
3️⃣ Mix the Sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine Caesar dressing, shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
4️⃣ Coat the Chicken:
Pour the Caesar-Parmesan mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the creamy blend.
5️⃣ Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6️⃣ Broil for a Golden Finish (Optional):
For a beautifully golden crust, switch to the broil setting and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
7️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a crisp salad.
