Instructions
Creating Melt In Your Mouth Caesar Chicken is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts, Caesar dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Prepare a Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
4. Place Chicken in Dish: Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and arrange it in the prepared baking dish.
5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
7. Add Croutons: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the croutons over the top of the chicken to allow them to become golden and crispy.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
