Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup Caesar dressing (low-carb or keto-friendly)
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning adhere better.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub the chicken breasts with the olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the mixed spices over both sides of the chicken.
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer.
Pour the Caesar dressing evenly over the top of the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top of the chicken and dressing.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain its juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
