Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Caesar Sauce

  • 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and prepare for the chicken.
  2. Make Caesar Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together Caesar dressing, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  3. Arrange Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, making sure they are spaced evenly and not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
  4. Coat Chicken: Generously coat each chicken breast with the Caesar sauce mixture, spreading it over the top and sides for maximum flavor and moisture.
  5. Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the sauce on top is golden and bubbly, indicating the dish is cooked through.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for color and a fresh herbal note before serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is safely cooked through at 165°F (74°C).
  • If you prefer a crispier top, you can broil the chicken for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking—watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently to preserve moisture.
