Caesar chicken is a flavorful dish that combines the classic Caesar salad ingredients with tender chicken. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Caesar chicken:
2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup croutons (optional, for garnish)
Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Caesar Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add 1/2 cup of Caesar dressing. Stir to combine and heat through.
Coat the Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet. Toss the chicken in the Caesar dressing sauce until well-coated.
Serve: Serve the chicken on a plate, drizzle with more Caesar dressing, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. For added crunch, top with croutons and garnish with fresh parsley.
This dish is perfect on its own, served with a side of roasted vegetables, or alongside a fresh Caesar salad. Would you like to try adding any extra toppings like bacon bits or olives?
