Description

Treat yourself to a delicious experience with Baked Caesar Chicken in Parmesan Cream, featuring juicy chicken smothered in rich and creamy Caesar dressing, baked to perfection. This dish is perfect for family dinners or special gatherings, combining savory flavors with an ultra-comforting texture.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken

  • 4 Chicken Breasts

Sauce

  • 1 cup Caesar Dressing
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated, divided)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the Chicken: Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. This foundational seasoning will bring out the innate flavors in the chicken.
  3. Make the Cream Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the Caesar dressing, minced garlic, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Place the chicken breasts in the greased baking dish and pour the creamy sauce evenly over the top, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Add Remaining Parmesan: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken to create a beautifully golden and cheesy crust.

Notes

  • Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the chicken to ensure it remains juicy and tender.
  • Rest the Chicken: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking for optimal juiciness.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and quality Parmesan elevate the dish’s flavor.
  • Bake in a Single Layer: Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking and sauce distribution.
  • Garnish Wisely: Fresh herbs like parsley or basil can add a fresh touch to the dish when serving.
