🧄 Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar dressing (use your favorite brand or homemade)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Prep the Chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt (if using) and black pepper.
3️⃣ Make the Creamy Caesar Sauce:
In a bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, sour cream, Parmesan, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4️⃣ Coat & Bake:
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Spoon the sauce mixture over each one, coating them fully.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is bubbly and lightly golden.
5️⃣ Broil (Optional):
For a slightly golden top, broil for the last 2–3 minutes—just keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
6️⃣ Serve:
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies.
