Description

A delicious and juicy chicken recipe featuring a rich Caesar dressing coating, topped with Parmesan cheese and crispy breadcrumbs, baked to perfection for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Sauces and Toppings

  • 1 cup Caesar dressing

Cheese and Breadcrumbs

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Breadcrumb Coating

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Spread Caesar dressing evenly over each chicken breast. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  3. Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil to help the breadcrumbs crisp up. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
  4. Optional Crispy Finish: For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
  • If you want a crunchier coating, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
