Ingredients
For the chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- Olive oil for drizzling

- Fresh parsley for garnishing
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Make sure to coat them evenly.
- Spread half of the Caesar dressing over the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
- Place the seasoned chicken on top of the dressing in the dish. Drizzle the remaining Caesar dressing on top of the chicken.
- In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream with half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir well until mixed.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken, ensuring it covers the breasts thoroughly.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly on top, followed by the remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the breadcrumbs to help them crisp up while baking.
Baking
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Serving
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
