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.
