Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 1 cup Caesar salad dressing
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Place the chicken breasts in the dish and pour the Caesar dressing evenly over them to coat thoroughly.
- In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and garlic powder.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the chicken, pressing it down lightly to help it stick.
- Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the topping is golden brown.
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Add a pinch of Italian seasoning or black pepper to the breadcrumb topping for extra flavor.
- Mix a tablespoon of melted butter into the breadcrumb mixture for more crunch.
- This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
