📝 Ingredients

For the Chicken & Marinade:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

For the Asparagus:

1 bunch fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch of salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Toppings:

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Optional: Crushed croutons or breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping

🍳 Kitchen Tools Needed

Large oven-safe skillet or baking dish
Tongs or spatula
Knife and cutting board
Foil (optional, for easy cleanup)
Oven and stovetop

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Method

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will give you a perfect balance between roasting and melting the cheese.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Slice chicken breasts horizontally if they are too thick, to ensure even cooking.
Rub with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
Add 1/2 cup of Caesar dressing and let it marinate for 15–30 minutes while you prep the asparagus. This infuses flavor and keeps the meat juicy.
