Crispy Caesar Chicken

Lately my children have been asking for chicken almost every night. The oldest loves fried chicken, but it is still only few weeks after holidays so I was thinking about making fried chicken without frying it.

I decided to bread some chicken thighs in Panko breadcrumbs, but that sounded too boring and I needed something to make the Panko stick to the chicken.



Crispy Caesar Chicken


I decided to use salad dressing.

All I have to do to look at the smiling faces around dinner table to know that we had a winner.

Ingredients:

  • Chicken Thighs, Breast or Drumsticks
  • Caesar Dressing
  • Ranch Dressing
  • Panko Breadcrumbs
  • Romano Cheese (grated)
  • Italian Parsley (finely chopped)
Preheat oven to 425F.

Wash and dry chicken pieces. In a bowl combine Caesar and Ranch dressing about 1 cup each (depends on how much chicken you have).

In another bowl mix together Panko breadcrumbs, Romano cheese and Italian parsley (again depends on your taste and how much chicken you have).

Coat chicken in the salad dressing mix and roll in breadcrumbs mixture.

Place into baking dish or baking pan and bake for about 45 minutes.





I served it with mashed potatoes and it didn't need any salt or pepper due to the spices in the dressing and the saltiness of the Romano cheese.

What a great idea! My family loves chicken. I always bread it with bread crumbs, cheese, and a egg.
Salad dressing is a really good idea.
