Ingredients
  

Recipe Ingredients
  • 3 large Chicken Breasts Approx 1.5 lbs (680g)
  • 1 cup Creamy Caesar Dressing 240ml, high-quality thick brand
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream 120ml, or Greek Yogurt
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese 100g, freshly shredded
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley 15g, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Coarse Cracked Black Pepper 5g

Equipment

  • 1 White ceramic rectangular baking dish Essential for even heat distribution.
  • 1 Meat Thermometer To ensure internal temperature of 165°F.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them in a white ceramic baking dish.
  2. Whisk Caesar dressing and sour cream until smooth. Drape the thick ivory sauce over the chicken, then top with shredded parmesan.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese crust is golden-brown and toasted.
  4. Remove from oven, garnish heavily with fresh parsley and coarse pepper. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry for the best sauce adhesion.
Use a broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end for an extra crispy toasted crust.
