This Melt-In-Your-Mouth Caesar Chicken is an easy, creamy, and flavorful weeknight dinner made with juicy chicken breasts baked in Caesar dressing and topped with Parmesan and mozzarella. It’s rich, tender, and ready in just 35 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Place chicken breasts in the dish and season with garlic powder and black pepper.
  3. Spoon Caesar dressing evenly over each chicken breast.
  4. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Add mozzarella if extra cheesiness is desired.
  5. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Swap chicken breasts for boneless thighs for extra juiciness.
  • Use light Caesar dressing for a lower-calorie option.
  • Add crushed croutons or panko for a crispy topping.
  • Try different cheeses like Romano or Asiago for flavor variation.
  • Great with roasted vegetables, salad, rice, or pasta.
