Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Caesar dressing
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley or thyme, optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
3. In a bowl, mix Caesar dressing, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), garlic powder, black pepper, and half the parmesan.
4. Place chicken breasts in the baking dish and coat them thoroughly with the sauce.
5. Sprinkle remaining parmesan cheese on top.
6. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until the internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Optional: Broil the last 2–3 minutes for a golden crust.
8. Let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with herbs and serve.
Notes
Make sure your Caesar dressing is thick and flavorful — this makes or breaks the sauce.
Don’t skip drying the chicken breasts; it helps the sauce stick better.
For extra richness, mix in a little shredded mozzarella or more parmesan on top before baking.
