Scale
For the Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Coating
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano to enhance flavor and ensure even seasoning.
- Coat the Chicken: Spread Caesar dressing evenly over each chicken breast to keep the meat moist and add flavor. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the dressing, then coat the chicken with breadcrumbs for a crispy exterior.
- Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil to promote golden, crispy breadcrumbs. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the breadcrumbs are crispy and golden.
- Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 3-5 minutes after baking. Slice and serve with your favorite sides, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
- To achieve a crispier coating, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
