Number Of Ingredients 4

4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 cup Caesar salad dressing ((click for homemade recipe))
½ cup sour cream ((optional))
1-1½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375F and spray the inside of an 8" x 11" baking dish with cooking spray.
  • If the breasts are uneven thickness, pound them (placed in a Ziploc bag and on a flat surface) to an even ¾"-1" thickness using a meat pounder. Sprinkle the breasts (both sides) with grated Parmesan cheese & freshly ground black pepper, and place them in the prepared baking dish.
  • Whisk together Caesar dressing and sour cream in a small bowl. Pour the Caesar/sour cream mixture over each breasts then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Place the prepared chicken in the oven and bake at 375F for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of one of the middle breasts reads 150°F.
  • Turn the oven to broil and broil the breasts an additional 2-4 minutes or until the chicken turns golden brown. It can burn quickly, so watch it closely. When done, a meat thermometer should register 165F when stuck into the thickest part of one of the middle breasts. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and allow chicken to rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • If desired, garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Fresh chicken, Parmesan cheese, and romaine lettuce are all essential.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breast is a lean meat, so it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality Caesar dressing. The dressing is one of the most important elements of this dish, so it's worth it to use a good one. You can either make your own or buy a store-bought dressing.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make baked Caesar chicken. You can add different vegetables, cheeses, or seasonings to the dish to create your own unique version.
  • Serve it immediately. Baked Caesar chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be crispy and the dressing will be warm and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Baked Caesar chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve to guests. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that everyone will enjoy.
