For best results, prepare the dressing the night before serving to allow the flavors a chance to fully develop.

*Always cook chicken to temperature, not by time. Actual cooking time will vary depending on several factors, including the starting internal temperature, thickness of the meat, and variations in individual oven temperatures. Check temperature with an instant-read thermometer after 15 minutes and adjust final cook time accordingly.

Chicken Caesar Salad with Homemade Dressing
Instructions
  1. Prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, and anchovy paste in a medium sized bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and whisk to combine.
  2. Add grated Parmesan cheese to the dressing and stir to combine. Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the dressing and whisk until thoroughly incorporated into the mixture. Taste and season with additional salt and black pepper, if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use
  3. Place top oven rack in the center position and pre heat to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat™ baking shee

The temperature will continue to rise several degrees while the chicken rests
