Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup Caesar salad dressing (use creamy, not vinaigrette)
  • ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (adds creaminess & tang)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

(Optional garnish: chopped parsley, extra Parmesan)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    • Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a little oil.
  2. Prepare the Chicken
    • Place chicken breasts in the baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder and black pepper.
  3. Make the Sauce
    • In a medium bowl, mix together Caesar dressing, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
  4. Top the Chicken
    • Spread the creamy Caesar mixture over each chicken breast, coating them fully.
  5. Bake
    • Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
    • For a golden, bubbly top, broil for an extra 2–3 minutes at the end.
  6. Serve
    • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.

Notes & Tips

  • Use thin-cut chicken breasts or pound thicker ones for even cooking.
  • Substitute light Caesar dressing and Greek yogurt for a healthier, lower-fat option.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
