Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Caesar Parmesan Sauce

  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Caesar dressing, sour cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Spread the prepared sauce evenly over each chicken breast, ensuring they are fully covered to lock in moisture and flavor.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), with the sauce bubbling and forming a golden crust.
  6. Rest and Garnish: After baking, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked.
  • For a thicker crust, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to retain moisture.
