Make this creamy Parmesan baked Caesar chicken for a rich, flavorful dinner. Juicy chicken baked with Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese is an easy, comforting recipe perfect for weeknights or family meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), garlic powder, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the creamy Caesar mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  4. If using, sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the sauce-covered chicken.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the topping is golden brown. If the topping is not browned, you can briefly broil it for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve this easy chicken dinner with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra juicy baked chicken, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before coating.
  • If you prefer a low-carb option, skip the breadcrumbs entirely.
  • This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or steamed green beans for a complete meal.
