Easy Chicken Recipe in a Creamy Sauce

This is not a chicken Caesar salad recipe because the chicken is coated in the Caesar dressing and other ingredients rather than being served on a bed of lettuce in the traditional way. It does however make a great change from chicken Caesar salad if you want hot, flavored chicken which can be served with potatoes or French fries rather than in a salad style.

This is a boneless chicken recipe which is straightforward to make and tastes unique. It is also good served with potato salad and maybe a green salad too. A fruity Chardonnay or a herby Sauvignon Blanc will taste delicious with this Caesar chicken recipe.

Chicken Caesar

Ingredients -

4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup plain, dry breadcrumbs
3 teaspoons olive oil
⅓ cup Caesar salad dressing
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
Black pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Combine the cayenne pepper, breadcrumbs and half the salt in a shallow dish.

Pour the Caesar salad dressing into a bowl and coat the chicken in it.

Dip the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, and then refrigerate it for 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Put a rack in a baking pan. Heat half the olive oil over a medium heat in a nonstick skillet.

Sear 2 of the chicken breasts on both sides, and then transfer them to the rack in the baking pan.

Repeat with the rest of the oil and the other 2 chicken breasts.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over them and bake for 20 minutes or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Serve the creamy chicken with the lemon wedges on the side.
