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 tablespoon olive oil
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano to enhance their flavor.
- Coat the Chicken: Evenly spread the Caesar dressing over each seasoned chicken breast. Then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese onto the chicken, followed by an even coating of breadcrumbs to create a delicious crust.
- Bake the Chicken: Arrange 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 is fully cooked and the breadcrumbs turn golden and crispy.
- Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after baking to retain its juiciness. Slice and serve with your favorite sides, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
- To achieve a crispier coating, broil the chicken for the last 3 minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- You can substitute panko breadcrumbs with regular breadcrumbs if preferred.
