Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano to infuse flavor.
- Coat the Chicken: Spread Caesar dressing evenly over each chicken breast, ensuring full coverage. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the dressing, then coat each piece with breadcrumbs to create a crispy crust.
- Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle additional olive oil on top to help crisp the breadcrumbs as they bake. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your preferred side dishes and enjoy the tender, flavorful chicken.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
- For a crispier coating, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- You can substitute panko breadcrumbs with regular breadcrumbs depending on your texture preference.
- Use low-fat Caesar dressing to reduce calories if desired.
