Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Caesar dressing
½ cup sour cream
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
Prepare the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine Caesar dressing, sour cream, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and Italian seasoning. Stir well until creamy and smooth.
Coat the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and spread the creamy Parmesan sauce evenly over the top.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
Add the final touch: Remove the foil, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top (if using), and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes until melted and golden.
Garnish and serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
