Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (make sure it’s Halal-friendly)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional) Can be omitted if desired

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat your chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Caesar dressing and olive oil (if using). Coat each chicken breast thoroughly with this mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto one side of each dressed chicken breast. Place the chicken breasts breadcrumb-side up on a greased baking dish.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) indicates that the chicken is perfectly cooked.
  2. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing, then serve hot.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute with dairy-free Caesar dressing and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan. Avoid using too much dressing to keep the topping crispy. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or in the microwave in short bursts.
