Description

A delicious Juicy Baked Caesar Chicken recipe that combines tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a creamy Parmesan Caesar sauce. Baked to perfection, this dish is quick to prepare and perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sauce

  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  3. Make the Creamy Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, sour cream, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and well combined.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Evenly spread the creamy Parmesan Caesar sauce over the top of each chicken breast, making sure all surfaces are well-coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The sauce should be bubbly and the chicken should develop a golden crust on top.
  6. Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked through to avoid undercooking or overcooking.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier, healthier option.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
