This delicious Caesar Chicken Thighs recipe features tender, juicy chicken thighs coated in a flavorful blend of Italian seasoning and garlic powder, dipped in creamy Caesar dressing, and topped with Parmesan cheese. Baked to perfection, this dish offers a savory twist on classic Caesar flavors and makes for a comforting and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin on)

Coating

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Topping

  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the chicken thighs.
  2. Prepare Coating: In a small bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. This will create a flavorful, lightly seasoned coating for the chicken.
  3. Coat Chicken: Lightly coat each chicken thigh with the flour mixture, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
  4. Dip in Dressing: Pour the Caesar dressing into another small bowl. Dip each flour-coated chicken thigh into the dressing, coating thoroughly on all sides.
  5. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the coated chicken thighs into a baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Add Parmesan: Evenly sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top of the coated chicken thighs.
  7. Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the juices run clear when pierced.
  8. Serve: Once cooked through, remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your flavorful Caesar Chicken Thighs!

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely to 165°F.
  • Bone-in, skin-on thighs provide the best flavor and moisture, but skinless can be used if preferred.
  • For a crispier finish, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
  • Pair with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
