- Parmesan Cheese – Freshly grated Parmesan adds a savory, cheesy topping that melts beautifully when broiled, creating a delicious golden crust.
3-Ingredient Baked Caesar Chicken
This simple yet flavorful chicken dish is a breeze to make and packed with taste. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are coated in creamy Caesar dressing, baked until golden, and then topped with Parmesan before broiling for a bubbly, golden finish.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup creamy Caesar dressing
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a baking dish. Coat them evenly with Caesar dressing, making sure they are well covered.
- Bake the Chicken: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 23–30 minutes, or until fully cooked through and golden brown on top.
- Add Parmesan: Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Broil for Finish: Place the chicken under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, until the Parmesan is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Serve hot, paired with a simple salad or your favorite side like roasted vegetables or potatoes.
Tips:
- No need to season the chicken with extra salt or pepper since the Caesar dressing already provides enough seasoning.
- This is a great weeknight meal that takes minimal effort but delivers big flavor!
- Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Absolutely! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a fantastic option. They’re juicier and more forgiving, and they’ll still soak up all the creamy Caesar dressing. Go ahead and swap them in! - Do I need to marinate the chicken?
Nope, marinating is not necessary! Just coat the chicken in Caesar dressing, pop it in the oven, and let the magic happen. The dressing will flavor the chicken as it bakes, no marination required! - Can I use any Caesar dressing?
Yes, you can! Feel free to use your favorite store-bought Caesar dressing. It’s a quick shortcut that still brings all the creamy, garlicky goodness you love. - How can I make this dish even faster?
If you’re in a real rush, you can pound the chicken breasts thinner to help them cook faster. This will shave a few minutes off the baking time and ensure they cook evenly. - What should I serve this with?
This dish goes great with a simple side like roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or some roasted potatoes. It’s versatile, so feel free to get creative with your sides!
