This simple yet delicious chicken recipe features boneless, skinless chicken breasts smothered in creamy Caesar dressing, baked to golden perfection, and topped with Parmesan cheese.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position the rack in the middle.
Prepare the chicken breasts: Place each chicken breast inside a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin or a meat mallet to pound each breast to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Repeat for all the chicken breasts.
Coat with Caesar dressing: Pour the Caesar dressing into a baking dish large enough to fit all the chicken breasts in a single layer. Place the chicken breasts in the dish and flip them to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing.
Bake the chicken: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden-brown and fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Add Parmesan and broil: While the chicken is baking, finely grate the Parmesan cheese and, if using, chop the parsley. Once the chicken is done, sprinkle the Parmesan over the chicken breasts in an even layer. Broil on high for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.NutritionCalories: 382 kcal | Fat: 10.8 g | Saturated: 3.8 g | Carbohydrates: 0.5 g | Fiber: Not listed | Sugars: 0.1 g | Protein: 66.2 g | Sodium: 316.8 mg
