Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing (high-quality or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Equipment

  • baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough for chicken in a single layer.
  2. Place chicken breasts in the dish. If thick, pound or butterfly to even thickness.
  3. In a bowl, mix Caesar dressing, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper until combined.
  4. Pour mixture over chicken, coating each piece evenly.
  5. Bake uncovered 25–30 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Optional: Broil 2–3 minutes for golden top, watching closely.
  7. Let rest a few minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Pair this dish with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad. For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
