Make this simple, juicy Baked Caesar Chicken for a comforting weeknight dinner. This oven-baked chicken uses a creamy Parmesan sauce and comes together fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. If your chicken breasts are very thick, lightly pound them to an even thickness for consistent cooking. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise (if using), minced garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt until smooth. This is your creamy Parmesan sauce.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the creamy Caesar sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
  5. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of the sauce for a light crust.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the sauce is bubbly and lightly golden.
  7. Let the baked Caesar chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, skip the breadcrumbs and add a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese before baking.
  • Serve this juicy chicken breast recipe over pasta or alongside roasted asparagus for a complete meal.
  • If you prefer a crispier top without breadcrumbs, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
