Directions:Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish large enough to accommodate the chicken breasts in a single layer, ensuring they have ample space to cook evenly.
Layer the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, arranging them evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
Prepare the Caesar Dressing Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Coat the Chicken: Pour the Caesar dressing mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is generously coated on all sides. This flavorful blend will infuse the chicken with irresistible taste and tenderness.
Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). The aroma of the herbs and cheese mingling with the chicken will tantalize your senses as it cooks to golden perfection.
Optional Golden Brown Crust: For those who desire an extra touch of golden-brown goodness, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning and ensure the chicken achieves a delectable crust.
Rest and Garnish: Once cooked to perfection, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is moist and flavorful. For an added burst of freshness and color, garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve and Enjoy: Plate your Melt-In-Your-Mouth Caesar Chicken alongside your favorite side dishes for a truly satisfying meal. Whether paired with crisp greens, roasted vegetables, or fluffy rice, this dish is guaranteed to impress even the most discerning palates. |
