A hot, bubbling bake right from the oven has a really soothing effect. A variation on the traditional Caesar salad, this Creamy Caesar Chicken and Mushroom Bake turns the delicious tastes into a filling and comforting meal. Inspired directly by the taste of that zesty Caesar dressing combined with delicate chicken and earthy mushrooms, is this dish.
Originally created by Italian-American chef Caesar Cardini in Tijuana, Mexico, the Caesar salad has origins in
1924. Although this meal deviates from the original, it honors the legendary flavor that has evolved into a mainstay in many American families. This bake is a great centerpiece for any table whether you’re searching for a dish that will wow your next dinner party or a savory supper after a demanding day.
Present this decadent meal with a side of vivid mixed salad or crisp green beans to provide a fresh counterpoint to the creamy richness. Perfect for soaking any left-over sauce would also be a side of garlic bread or focaccia.
There are 4–6 servings of creamy Caesar chicken and mushroom bake.
