Ingredients
  

For the Baked Caesar Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup Caesar dressing

1 cup panko bread crumbs

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

8 ounces pasta (fettuccine or penne works well)

2 tablespoons butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      Prepare the Chicken:

        Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour Caesar dressing over the chicken, coating each piece evenly.

          Prepare the Coating:

            In a bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.

              Coat the Chicken:

                Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken breasts until they are evenly covered. This will create a crispy topping when baked.

                  Bake the Chicken:

                    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. (Internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C.)

                      Cook the Pasta:

                        While the chicken is baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

                          Make the Sauce:

                            In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                              Combine Pasta and Sauce:

                                Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss to combine, ensuring all the pasta is coated.

                                  Serve:

                                    Slice the baked Caesar chicken and serve alongside the creamy Parmesan pasta. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color.
