Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Caesar Sauce:

  • 1 cup Caesar dressing (use your favorite brand)
  • ½ cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (optional)
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for a crispy topping)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)



Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This simple seasoning helps enhance the natural flavor of the chicken before adding the creamy topping.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Caesar Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, sour cream (if using), and ½ cup of the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well until smooth and fully blended. This mixture will serve as the rich, tangy coating that keeps the chicken juicy and tender.

Step 4: Coat the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the Caesar mixture evenly over each piece, ensuring that all the chicken is well coated.

Notes

  • Roasted Vegetables – Serve it with roasted asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or zucchini.
  • Rice or Pasta – A simple side of rice or buttery noodles complements the creamy sauce.
  • Mashed Potatoes – Creamy mashed potatoes make for a comforting meal.
  • Crisp Salad – A light Caesar or garden salad balances the richness of the dish.
