Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar salad dressing
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions

- In a mixing bowl, combine the Caesar salad dressing, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder (if using), black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well-incorporated.
- Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Spread the Caesar mixture evenly over the top of the chicken.

- Let the chicken rest briefly, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
