Chicken and Coating
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
- Coat the Chicken: Spread Caesar dressing evenly over each chicken breast. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, then coat with breadcrumbs to ensure an even layer of coating.
- Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil to promote crispiness. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
- If you prefer a crispier coating, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) for safe consumption.
