Ingredients
- 2 cups croutons , preferably Caesar-flavoured
- 4 skinless, bone-in chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup creamy-style Caesar salad dressing
- fresh wedges lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line a baking sheet with shallow sides with foil. Place croutons in a large bowl. Place a smaller bowl in large bowl on top of croutons. Press on small bowl to crush croutons into coarse crumbs. Or place croutons on a piece of waxed paper on counter or a cutting board. Then coarsely crush with a rolling pin. Remove and discard skin from chicken. Place chicken, bone-side down, on baking sheet. Pour about 2 tablespoons (30 mL) dressing evenly over each piece of chicken. Then sprinkle crushed croutons on top of chicken to coat. Gently press crumbs into chicken to help them adhere.
- Bake, uncovered, in centre of 350F (180C) oven until chicken juices run clear and coating is crispy, from 45 to 55 minutes. If chicken begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with a piece of foil. Serve with a wedge of lemon for squeezing overtop.
