Instructions

1

Prep and Coat the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the dish and pour the Italian dressing over them, turning to coat all sides. Let the chicken sit in the dressing for 5 minutes while the oven heats.

2

Add Parmesan and Bake

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the top of each Italian dressing-coated chicken breast. The cheese will form a golden crust as it bakes. Place the baking dish in the preheated 425 degree oven.

3

Bake Until Golden and Cooked

Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until the Parmesan crust is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant-read thermometer. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep the juices inside.

Substitutions

Italian dressingCaesar dressing for a creamy and equally delicious variation on this easy chicken bake
Parmesan cheesePecorino Romano or Asiago cheese for a bolder and more pungent cheesy crust

Common mistakes

Using chicken breasts of very uneven thickness, which causes thinner parts to dry out before thicker parts are fully cooked through
Covering the baking dish with foil, which steams the chicken and prevents the Parmesan from forming a desirable golden crust
