Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Caesar Chicken Cutlets, perfect for dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar salad dressing
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix well.
- Dip each chicken cutlet into the Caesar dressing, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the browned cutlets to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Serve the chicken cutlets with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Substitute the Caesar dressing with a ranch or blue cheese dressing for a different flavor profile.
