Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Caesar Sauce Mixture
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Caesar Sauce Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine Caesar dressing, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt (if using). Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Arrange Chicken: Place the boneless chicken breasts evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish, making sure they are not touching or overlapping for even cooking.
- Coat Chicken: Generously spoon and spread the Caesar sauce mixture over each chicken breast, covering them completely to lock in flavor and moisture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the sauce turns golden and bubbly.
- Rest and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- Make sure to not overcrowd the baking dish to ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
- Adding freshly cracked black pepper enhances the flavor beyond pre-ground.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken’s internal temperature for perfect doneness.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
