Caesar Chicken Recipe: A Simple and Amazing Dinner Idea

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing use your favorite brand or make your own
  • ½ cup sour cream this adds a nice creaminess
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

  • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s heating up, you can get everything else ready. Preheating ensures your chicken cooks evenly and stays juicy.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This helps the sauce stick better and ensures a nice texture. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Don’t skip this step—it’s the foundation for flavor.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, sour cream, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir until it’s smooth and creamy. This sauce is what takes the chicken to the next level.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

  • Place the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Pour the Caesar dressing mixture over the top, making sure each piece is well coated. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken. Trust me, you want that cheesy crust.

Step 5: Bake

  • Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). If you want a golden-brown top, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes—but keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn. That broiled top is pure magic.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  • Once the chicken is out of the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Serve it hot with your favorite sides, and enjoy the compliments that are sure to follow.
