Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  2. Arrange the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
  3. Top with Dressing and Garlic: Spoon the Caesar dressing evenly over each chicken breast. Sprinkle the minced garlic on top to infuse the chicken with aromatic flavor.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Generously sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken breasts to create a rich, creamy topping.
  5. Season: Lightly season with freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
  6. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The Parmesan will be golden and slightly crispy.
  7. Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in Caesar dressing for 30 minutes before baking.
  • You can substitute Caesar dressing with a homemade version for a fresher taste.
  • If you prefer a crispy top, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
  • Use fresh garlic rather than powdered garlic to maximize flavor.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
