Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Your Cooking Space: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill to medium-high heat. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine Caesar dressing, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour in the marinade. Seal tightly and shake gently. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: If baking, place marinated chicken in the prepared baking dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). If grilling, cook each side for approximately 6-7 minutes until golden brown.
- Finishing Touches: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes to retain moisture. Serve on plates and drizzle with extra Caesar dressing; garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
