For extra flavor, try marinating the chicken in half of the Caesar dressing mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
If you don't have croutons on hand, you can use crushed Ritz crackers or panko breadcrumbs as a substitute.

Feel free to add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the crouton mixture for added depth of flavor.
