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
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and optional salt until the mixture is smooth.
- Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, making sure they are spaced evenly and not overlapping.
- Coat the chicken: Generously spoon and spread the Caesar sauce mixture over each chicken breast, ensuring full coverage.
- Bake the chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is golden and bubbly on top.
- 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 fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the chicken.
- You can substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier, lighter sauce.
- This recipe pairs well with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven.
