- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking oil.
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix Caesar Dressing and Cheese: In a small bowl, mix together the Caesar salad dressing and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Layer Ingredients: Spread the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the seasoned chicken breasts in the baking dish. Pour the Caesar dressing mixture over the top, ensuring that each chicken breast is coated with the creamy dressing.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the chicken and mushroom mixture, creating a deliciously melty cheese topping.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the creamy Caesar chicken and mushroom bake from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and ensures a deliciously tender result.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish the baked dish with fresh chopped parsley or additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the indulgent flavors of creamy Caesar dressing, tender chicken, and savory mushrooms.
Tips for Success:
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding ingredients such as crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, or chopped spinach for extra flavor and texture.
- For a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat Caesar dressing and low-fat cheese without compromising on taste.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick and satisfying meal.
