🧠 FAQs
❓ Can I make this with chicken thighs?
Yes — boneless, skinless thighs work great and stay extra juicy.
❓ Can I make this ahead?
Absolutely. Assemble everything in the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add cheese before baking.
❓ Is this keto or low-carb?
Yes! As long as your Caesar dressing is low in sugar, this is a keto-friendly and low-carb dinner.
❓ Can I use bottled dressing?
Yes. Just make sure it’s a high-quality Caesar dressing. Avoid overly sweet or watery brands for best results.
❓ Can I add vegetables to the pan?
You can! Add cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, or green beans around the chicken before baking — they’ll roast beautifully in the sauce.
