Baked Parmesan Caesar Chicken

This Baked Parmesan Caesar Chicken is an easy chicken dinner that can be pulled together in minutes.

BAKED PARMESAN CAESAR CHICKEN

The last two weeks have been intense. I’ve been trying to finish up my cookbook and hit the deadline to my publisher. Even though I’ve been working on it since the summer, there are some things that just can’t be done until the end.

Being slightly burned out and still having to feed my family, I wanted to make something REALLY simple for dinner that didn’t hurt my brain.

The best recipes are usually the ones that you have memorized. This Parmesan Caesar Chicken comes from my niece-in-law (yup that’s a thing) Aimee who worked at a reception center in Utah where they served this chicken. She’s actually has her culinary arts degree and is a great cook.

HOW TO MAKE THIS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment or use a wire rack to cook on.
2. In a food processor or blender crush croutons until fine crumbs.
3. In a shallow bowl combine the Caesar and Italian dressings. Set aside.
4. 
   In another shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese and crouton crumbs. You can use grated Parmesan if you don’t have shredded.

   

5. Take each chicken breast and dredge it in the dressing mixture and then roll it in the crumb mixture.

   Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is done.

Cook Time: 30 minutes mins

Total Time: 45 minutes mins

Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 6-8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing, I like Gardini's and Brianna's Asiago Caesar
• 1/2 cup zesty Italian dressing, the actual dressing, not the mix. Like Kraft's Zesty Italian
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, or grated
• 1 cup garlic crouton crumbs

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment or use a wire rack to cook on.
• In a food processor or blender crush croutons until fine crumbs.
• In a shallow bowl combine the Caesar and Italian dressings. Set aside.
• In another shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese and crouton crumbs. You can use grated Parmesan if you don't have shredded.
• Take each chicken breast and dredge it in the dressing mixture and then roll it in the crumb mixture. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is done.

Notes

The measurements are approximate. You just need equal parts Caesar/Italian dressing and equal parts Parmesan cheese/garlic crouton crumbs.
Also, whenever I cook chicken that has a crumb mixture I prefer to cook it on a wire rack on top of a cookie sheet so that the crumb mixture doesn't get soggy.
