Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Pat chicken breasts dry, season with salt and pepper, and place in a baking dish.
In a bowl, mix Caesar dressing, mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic, and lemon juice.
Spread the mixture over the chicken evenly.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden top.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
For extra richness, top with bacon bits before baking.
Chicken thighs can be substituted for a juicier texture.
Make it gluten-free by checking the dressing and skipping breadcrumbs.
