Make this easy, creamy Baked Caesar Chicken for a weeknight dinner. Chicken breasts bake in a rich Caesar dressing and Parmesan topping until tender and juicy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder and black pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the Caesar dressing, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese until combined. This creates your creamy sauce.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread the creamy Caesar-Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  5. Sprinkle a little extra Parmesan cheese over the sauce layer.
  6. Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown.
  7. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Spoon any pan sauce over the chicken when serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier top, place the dish under the broiler for the last 2 to 3 minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • This recipe works well served with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or roasted vegetables.
  • Use a thick, creamy style of Caesar dressing for the best coating consistency.
