Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9”x13” baking dish with non-stick spray.
In a bowl crush the croutons and add the melted butter and mix together. Set aside.
Mix the Caesar dressing with ½ of the parmesan cheese in a second mixing bowl. Set aside.
Place the chicken breast in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Spread the Caesar dressing mixture over each chicken breast. Place a slice of provolone cheese on each chicken breast. Finish with the chicken with the crouton topping.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through to 165 degree internal temperature. If the croutons start to brown too much you can cover loosely with foil.
Top with the remaining parmesan cheese and serve.

If the chicken breasts are thicker than 2 inches, it is recommended to slice them in half lengthwise (as if you’re cutting it open like a book). This will ensure even cooking while baking.
Use a creamy-style Caesar dressing, as oil-based options may break down during the baking process.
Sliced mozzarella is always a great alternative; if you want to add a stronger flavor, smoked mozzarella or a sharp provolone will enhance this casserole.
Refrigerate any leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days after baking.
