Description

Tender baked chicken breasts smothered in a rich, creamy Caesar-Parmesan sauce for an easy, flavorful weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat chicken dry and place in the baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, mix Caesar dressing, sour cream, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Spoon the creamy Parmesan mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Broil for 2–3 minutes to brown the top, if desired.
  7. Rest for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality Caesar dressing for best flavor.
  • Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Add extra Parmesan on top before broiling for a deeper crust.
  • Pairs well with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
