A simple yet indulgent dish perfect for a comforting dinner served alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Caesar Sauce

  • 1 cup Caesar dressing (use your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, adds extra creaminess)
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine Caesar dressing, sour cream (if using), freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are fully blended and the sauce is creamy.
  3. Assemble Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Evenly spread the Caesar sauce mixture over each chicken breast, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
  4. Bake Chicken: Bake the chicken uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), indicating that the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  5. Optional Broil: For a golden and bubbly top, optionally broil the chicken for an additional 2–3 minutes. Keep a close watch to avoid burning.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Garnish the baked chicken breasts with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad to complete the meal.

Notes

  • Using boneless, skinless chicken breasts ensures quick and even cooking.
  • Sour cream is optional but adds extra creaminess and richness to the sauce.
  • Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure safety and juiciness.
  • Broiling at the end is optional but enhances the cheesy topping with a delightful golden crust.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
