Evenly brush tops with a thin layer of Caesar dressing (save the rest for serving). Mound the coated sides with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). Roast on middle rack for ⏱️ 10 minutes .

   Once chicken has roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Evenly sprinkle remaining Parmesan into a 6-inch-wide circle on empty side of same sheet. Roast on middle rack until chicken is completely cooked and frico is golden brown, ⏱️ 5 minutes or longer if needed. TIP: Keep a close eye to avoid burning; if golden after 5 minutes, remove the frico and continue roasting chicken.
