This recipe combines tender chicken breasts with a creamy Caesar dressing and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, resulting in a dish that’s savory, cheesy, and incredibly satisfying.

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). Prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly to ensure the chicken doesn’t stick.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the greased baking dish.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Pour the Caesar dressing mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure they are evenly coated on all sides.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Optional Browning: For a crispy, golden-brown crust, switch the oven to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Rest and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  8. Serve: Enjoy this flavorful chicken with your favorite side dishes for a well-rounded and delightful meal.

Notes

Serving Tips

  • Serve Hot: For the best flavor and texture, serve your Melt In Your Mouth Caesar Chicken immediately after baking. The creamy Caesar dressing and melted Parmesan cheese are most delicious when hot.
  • Side Dish Pairings: This dish pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. Consider serving it with roasted vegetables, a fresh green salad, garlic bread, or steamed rice for a complete meal.
  • Garnishing Ideas: Garnish with additional fresh parsley, a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese, or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor and presentation.

Storage Tips

  • Refrigeration: Store leftover Caesar Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in a baking dish and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 10-15 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions, but the oven will help retain the dish’s texture better.
  • Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the cooked chicken. Place it in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag and store it for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
  • Reheating Tips: When reheating, avoid overcooking the chicken to prevent it from becoming dry. If the sauce has thickened during storage, add a splash of chicken broth or a little extra Caesar dressing to moisten it.

 

These tips will help ensure that your Melt In Your Mouth Caesar Chicken remains delicious whether you’re serving it fresh or storing leftovers for later.
