Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, pepper, and salt until completely smooth. This is your creamy Parmesan sauce.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Spoon the creamy sauce evenly over the top of each chicken breast, spreading it to cover the surface completely.
If you want a slightly crispier top, sprinkle the breadcrumbs lightly over the sauce on each breast.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the topping is golden brown.
Let the juicy baked chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For an even richer flavor, you can marinate the chicken in half of the sauce mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
Serve this easy weeknight chicken over cooked pasta or alongside roasted asparagus for a complete one pan chicken dinner experience.
If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the sauce mixture.
