- 1 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray or a thin layer of olive oil. - Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). - Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic until well combined. - Coat the Chicken
Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the Caesar-Parmesan mixture evenly over each chicken breast. - Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden finish, if desired. - Serve
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
