Equipment

  • baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken breast boneless, skinless, thin
  • 6 tablespoon creamy caesar dressing Make sure it's creamy, not vinaigrette.
  • 6 oz provolone cheese sliced
  • 1 cup caesar style croutons
  • 1 tablespoon butter Melt before mixing with croutons.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breast flat in a large baking dish. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Spread 1-2 tbsp, or a nice thick layer, of creamy caesar dressing over each chicken breast.
  • Place the sliced provolone over the chicken to cover.
  • Crush the croutons to crumbs, then melt 1 tablespoon of butter and mix the croutons with it to coat.
  • Spread the crouton crumbs over the cheese. Then bake the dish on the middle rack at 375˚F for 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crumbs are golden brown. If the top of the crumbs become too browned, loosely cover with foil for the remainder of the cook time.
  • Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

You can cut the chicken in half, chunks, or use chicken tenderloins to make serving easier. Cooking time may be reduced. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to a month.
