Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Marinade

3. Marinate the Chicken

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and spread the Caesar marinade evenly over the top of each chicken breast, coating them completely.

4. Bake

  2. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden, bubbly topping (watch closely to avoid burning).

5. Rest and Serve

  2. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, extra grated Parmesan cheese, and lemon wedges for added brightness.
  3. Serve warm and enjoy every bite of this creamy, flavorful chicken!
  4. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and high-quality Parmesan cheese make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Switch Proteins: Substitute chicken breasts with thighs, pork chops, or even tofu for variety.
