Description
Get ready to experience a chicken dish that will have your taste buds singing with joy! Introducing the Melt In Your Mouth Caesar Chicken – a delectable recipe that combines the bold flavors of Caesar dressing, the richness of Parmesan cheese, and the tender juiciness of chicken breasts.
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
1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to ensure the chicken doesn’t stick.
2. Season the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides of the chicken with the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add the Caesar dressing: Generously spread the Caesar dressing over each chicken breast, making sure to coat them evenly.
4. Top with Parmesan cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the chicken.
5. Bake to perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Broil (optional): For a golden, bubbly top, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
7. Garnish and serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve the Melt In Your Mouth Caesar Chicken with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
For a more pronounced Caesar flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the dressing for 30 minutes to an hour before baking.
Be sure to use high-quality, freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best results.
The baking process is key; bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes and consider broiling for 2-3 minutes for a crispy topping.
