Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)

Sauce and Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Place chicken in dish: Arrange the chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart for even cooking.
  3. Add the toppings: Spread Caesar dressing evenly over each chicken breast. Sprinkle minced garlic on top, followed by a generous layer of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Finish by seasoning with black pepper.
  4. Bake the chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  5. Serve hot: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this creamy, savory dish hot with your favorite side.

Notes

  • Make sure the chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking; you can pound them gently if needed.
  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil before serving.
  • Use homemade Caesar dressing for a fresher taste or store-bought for convenience.
  • If you prefer a crispier topping, place the chicken under the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
