Ingredients
Chicken and Sauce Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar dressing adds creaminess and flavor
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt provides richness and moisture
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese creates a savory depth
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder enhances flavor
- Salt and pepper, to taste balances seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish optional; adds color
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the sauce over them, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Cooking
- Bake the chicken for about 25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C).
- Once baked, sprinkle the chicken with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure that your chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking. Use a meat thermometer for checking doneness and allow the chicken to rest after baking for juices to redistribute.
