Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 6–8 oz each)
- 1 cup Caesar salad dressing (halal-certified)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps the dressing adhere better and ensures even cooking.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
- Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the Caesar dressing mixture evenly over each piece of chicken, making sure they are fully coated.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The dressing will turn golden and bubbly.
- Broil for a Crispy Top (Optional): For a slightly crispy topping, broil the chicken on high for 2-3 minutes after baking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with dried parsley or additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
