Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup (240 ml) Caesar dressing
- ½ cup (120 g) sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 cup (100 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella (optional, for a cheesy finish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a bit of oil or butter.
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and season them with garlic powder, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together Caesar dressing, sour cream (if using), and grated Parmesan.
- Coat the Chicken: Spread the Caesar mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella (if using).
- Bake: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is golden and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a complete meal.
- For a crispier top, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully.
