Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1Β½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
– Β½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 1 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing
– Β½ cup sour cream at room temperature (optional)
Instructions
1-Getting started: Getting started with Creamy Caesar Chicken Delight is straightforward, and this guide walks you through each step to avoid any confusion. Begin by preheating your oven to 375Β°F and spraying an 8Γ11Β½-inch baking pan with nonstick spray to keep things simple and mess-free. This method ensures your chicken cooks evenly and stays juicy.
2-First, prepare the chicken: First, prepare the chicken by pounding the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts to an even ΒΎ-1 inch thickness if theyβre uneven, which helps them cook uniformly. Next, sprinkle both sides of the chicken with 1 cup of the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and the Β½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, then place them in the prepared baking dish. Now, whisk together the 1 cup of creamy Caesar salad dressing and the Β½ cup of sour cream, and pour this mixture over the chicken breasts for that signature creamy coating.
3-Sprinkle the remaining: Sprinkle the remaining Β½ cup of Parmesan cheese on top to add extra crunch and flavor. Bake the chicken for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 150Β°F, then broil for 2-4 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the final internal temperature hits 165Β°F. Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes covered loosely with foil before serving, and garnish with chopped parsley if you like for a fresh finish.
