# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish large enough for chicken breasts to sit in a single layer.

Place chicken breasts flat in the prepared dish. Pound or butterfly them to an even thickness if necessary.

In a medium bowl, combine Caesar dressing, shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly blended.

Spread the prepared mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring each is fully coated.

Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F.

For a golden finish, broil the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
07 -
Allow chicken to rest a few minutes. Top with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

For maximum tenderness, ensure chicken breasts are of uniform thickness before baking.
