Melt In Your Mouth Caesar Chicken
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Caesar salad dressing
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Prepare the Coating:
In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
Add the minced garlic and dried parsley (if using) to the cheese and breadcrumb mixture. Mix well.
Coat the Chicken:
Dip each chicken breast into the Caesar salad dressing, ensuring it is fully coated.
Press the coated chicken breasts into the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Bake the Chicken:
Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the chicken to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Serve:
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
