Baked Caesar Chicken with Creamy Parmesan Sauce
Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:

- Bake the chicken:
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden.
- If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes to make the top crispy and bubbly.
