Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Coating and Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dressing and Oil:
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing with olive oil at 180C (350F).
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano, ensuring even coverage.
- Generously spread Caesar dressing across each chicken breast, creating a smooth, consistent layer.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the dressing, followed by an even coating of breadcrumbs.
- Position the prepared chicken breasts in the greased baking dish, maintaining space between each piece.
- Drizzle additional olive oil over the breadcrumb-coated chicken to enhance crispiness and golden color.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and breadcrumbs turn crisp and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow chicken to rest for 3-4 minutes, which helps retain moisture and makes slicing easier.
- Slice chicken and serve immediately with complementary side dishes, garnishing with extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Choose chicken breasts of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking and prevent dry edges.
- Pat chicken dry before seasoning to help breadcrumbs adhere better and create a crispier coating.
- Swap regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives for those with dietary restrictions.
- Use low-fat Caesar dressing to reduce overall calorie content without compromising flavor.
