Easy Caesar Chicken

September 24, 2017 by Judith Hanneman

This Caesar chicken is one of the most delicious and easy dinners you'll ever make!

This Caesar chicken is so easy, it will surprise you how delicious it is.

Simple Ingredients Yet Great Taste

This is another one of those meals where I am amazed how great it tastes using less than five ingredients.

When I saw this on Becky’s blog, The Cookie Rookie, I just had to make it! This recipe had all the elements I look for–easy, quick, delicious–and did I mention EASY???

In fact, it can be so easy that you only need three ingredients.

Add-Ons Make It Better

Basically all you need to make this caesar chicken is the chicken and caesar dressing. I would imagine the grated cheese adds more flavor, but in a pinch it could be left out. In fact, I reduced the amount originally called for by a third. That was because I was going to make another addition cheese-wise.

However, I used Becky’s suggestions to enhance the flavor of the gravy by using either sour cream or mayonnaise. I used the sour cream, and I used the cheese.

Also, the week I made this, boneless skinless thighs were on sale for a ridiculously low price at one of my local stores, so I used thighs instead of breasts. I did this mainly to eliminate using the meat mallet to even out the thickness in the breasts. Thighs are very uniform in thickness, plus they are a bit more flavorful than breast meat (at least to me).

One Final Addition

One extra thing I did add was more cheese.

Since you have to pop this under the broiler to get that lovely crispness on the top, I thought some shredded parmesan would be a great addition. First you get more depth of flavor and secondly, the shredded parmesan browns nicely and crisps up so you get more texture.

    Just tried to leave a comment but my computer crashed so not sure if it went through (sorry if I am doubling up). I love the simplicity of this recipe and how it seems like one of those ones you’d find in an old cookbook. Thanks for sharing!
