Creamy Caesar Chicken Delight (Printable Version)
Baked chicken coated in creamy Caesar dressing and Parmesan for rich, comforting flavors.
# Ingredients:
→ Protein
01 -
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
→ Sauce
02 -
240 ml creamy Caesar dressing
03 -
100 g grated Parmesan cheese
04 -
120 ml sour cream
# Steps:
01 -
Set the oven temperature to 175°C to ensure even cooking.
02 -
Place the chicken breasts evenly spaced in a baking dish.
03 -
Combine Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan, and sour cream in a mixing bowl until smooth.
04 -
Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken breasts, spreading to cover all sides evenly.
05 -
Bake the coated chicken at 175°C for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and golden. Verify the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
06 -
Broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden top, watching closely to avoid burning.
07 -
While baking, cook complementary sides such as parmesan noodles, green beans, stuffing, or cornbread swirls.
08 -
Serve the hot chicken alongside selected sides, garnished optionally with fresh parsley or additional Parmesan.
# Notes:
01 -
Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Use fresh Parmesan for optimal flavor. Allow cooked chicken to rest before serving to retain juices.
02 -
This dish can be prepared ahead; assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking, adding 5-10 minutes to cooking time if baked cold.
03 -
Store leftovers refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 3 days; reheat at 175°C until warmed through.
04 -
For a lighter meal, serve over mixed greens or steamed vegetables. Marinate chicken in Caesar dressing beforehand to intensify flavor.
