Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1½ cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Caesar salad dressing
- ½ cup sour cream (Optional)
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray the inside of an 8×11″ baking dish with cooking spray.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ¾ to 1 inch using a meat pounder.
- Sprinkle the chicken breasts with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
- Whisk together the Caesar dressing and sour cream in a small bowl. Pour this mixture over each chicken breast, making sure they are well-coated. Sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake the chicken in the oven at 375°F for 30 minutes.
- Broil the chicken for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until golden brown.
- Check if the chicken has reached 165°F at the thickest part with a meat thermometer. Remove it from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
Pound the chicken to an even thickness for even cooking. Use fresh Parmesan for the best flavor.
