Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut in half if thick for even cooking.
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing Use your favorite brand or homemade.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Optional, adds extra creaminess.
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Sprinkle extra on top before broiling for more cheesiness.
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix the Caesar dressing, sour cream (if using), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish and spread the Caesar sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.
  2. Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 25–30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Optionally, broil the chicken for an additional 2–3 minutes for a golden, bubbly top.
Serving
  1. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Notes

Chicken size matters—cut thick breasts in half to ensure even cooking. Experiment with sauces by substituting Caesar dressing for ranch.
