Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Coating
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano to enhance the flavor.
- Coat the Chicken: Spread Caesar dressing evenly over each seasoned chicken breast to add moisture and flavor. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the dressing, then coat the chicken breasts with breadcrumbs to create a crispy topping.
- Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil to help the breadcrumbs crisp up during baking. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve with your favorite side dishes, enjoying the tender, flavorful chicken.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
- For a crispier coating, broil the chicken for the last 3 minutes of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
