Baked Caesar Chicken with Creamy Parmesan Sauce

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

½ cup creamy Caesar dressing

½ cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup shredded mozzarella (optional for extra creaminess)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt (optional, depending on the saltiness of the dressing)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, pepper, and a pinch of salt.

3. Mix the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together Caesar dressing, sour cream, and grated Parmesan until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble

Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the Caesar-Parmesan sauce evenly over each piece of chicken. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top (if using).

5. Bake

Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

For a golden top, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.

6. Serve

Garnish with chopped parsley and a light dusting of Parmesan. Serve warm with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
