🍗 Baked Caesar Chicken with a Creamy Parmesan Sauce 🧀
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Caesar dressing
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
Heat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Use either cooking spray or a little oil to grease a baking dish.
Season the Chicken: Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Lay the seasoned chicken in the greased baking dish.
Create the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
Dress the Chicken: Pour the sauce over the chicken in the dish, ensuring each piece is generously covered.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes. The chicken is done when it’s no longer pink inside and reads 165°F (74°C) with a meat thermometer. The top should be golden and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Once baked, let the chicken rest a few minutes before sprinkling with chopped parsley for garnish, if using. Serve hot with your preferred sides.
