Description

This Juicy Baked Caesar Chicken with Parmesan Sauce is a creamy, flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts baked to perfection and topped with a rich Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese sauce. Quick to prepare and perfect for a weeknight dinner, this recipe produces juicy, golden chicken with a deliciously cheesy crust.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to add flavor. Place the seasoned chicken evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, sour cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and fully blended.
  4. Coat Chicken: Spread the creamy Caesar-Parmesan sauce evenly over the top of each chicken breast, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated with the sauce.
  5. Bake Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is bubbly with a golden crust.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to retain juices. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  • For extra crispy topping, broil for 2-3 minutes after baking but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
