Perfectly baked to juicy perfection and garnished with fresh parsley, this dish is an easy, crowd-pleasing meal ideal for a family dinner or casual get-together.

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent the chicken from sticking during baking.
  2. Make Caesar Sauce Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt (if using). Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Arrange Chicken: Place the chicken breasts evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish, making sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
  4. Coat Chicken: Generously spread the Caesar sauce mixture over each chicken breast, making sure they are fully coated for maximum flavor and moisture.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The sauce should turn golden and bubbly.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely to 165°F (74°C).
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce mixture.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes—watch closely to avoid burning.
  • This recipe pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a light green salad.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
