Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, sour cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the creamy sauce evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The sauce should be bubbly and the chicken should have a golden crust.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color (optional) and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
For a crispy top, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
