I tend to look for recipes for the meal at hand so I didn't have time to marinate the chicken. It still came out good with only 15 min.s or so in the dressing! Read More

we did not like this at all. It was bland and limp. I took the leftovers and cut them into small strips and made a stir fry just to use the chicken up. Read More

Pretty good idea. I used about 2lbs of chicken tenders and maybe about 1/2 cup of ceasar ranch dressing with a few cloves of garlic. I let it marinate overnight. Then I rolled the strips in parmesan cheese instead of breadcrumbs because I don't like to eat too many carbs. Then I baked at 400 degrees for about 10-15 mins on each side. It was good. Read More

I liked that this chicken came out moist it was baked not fried and that it was super simple. I was however not impressed with the flavor something is missing. My mom and I both agree that the predominant flavor was the bread crumbs. I think that I will try this again but a little different. I may try it on chicken breasts and turn it into chicken parm or I may use ranch dressing instead of caesar. Read More

Very Good! I added some garlic salt and onion powder to plain bread crumbs in order to bump up the flavor a little bit. I also let the chicken marinade for almost 24hrs before I cooked it but it was delicious when it was done! Read More

This was ok but nothing to write home about. I used top quality Caesar-style dressing but I had to almost DOUBLE THE COOKING TIME! It turned out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside but I did not like the taste. Very artificial - if you'd like plain chicken dipped in salad dressing go for this one. It was easy to make I'll give it that... Read More

I marinated the chicken in some leftover Greek tztaziki sauce that I had and a squeeze of lemon juice. Then I breaded it in panko crumbs. It turned out very tender and good. It was very garlicky from the sauce. Read More

I am with other people on this recipe. Very tender chicken. Breading was not great - I even tried to add a lot of parmesan cheese to it so that it wouldn't be so bready. I love caesar dressing so was hoping for more of the taste - I think it just made it moist and that was it. Not sure how to tweak it to make it better... Read More
