Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese divided
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 1 cup creamy caesar dressing
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, salt, and pepper together. Rub this mixture onto both sides of each chicken breast. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken.
- Whisk the Caesar dressing and lemon juice together in a small bowl and pour on top of the cheese/chicken.
- Evenly sprinkle the remaining cheeses in an even layer on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until an instant thermometer reads 165°F when inserted into the center of the chicken. For a toasty, golden brown cheese topping, broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes prior to removing from the oven. Watch it carefully so it doesn't burn!
- Let the chicken cool for 10 minutes before serving.
