Preparation Time: 10 minutes 

Cooking Time: 35 minutes 

Total Time: 45 minutes 

Servings: 4 

Calories per Serving: Approximately 320 kcal

 Ingredients:

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

– 1 cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)

– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

– ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

– Salt and pepper to taste

 Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Chicken

   Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Make the Sauce

   In a mixing bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Dish

   Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Pour the Caesar-Parmesan sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated.

5. Bake the Chicken

   Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, and return to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

6. Garnish and Serve

   Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with dried parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
