Ingredients (and Why They Matter)

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts – Lean, tender, and the perfect canvas for bold flavor.
• 1 cup Caesar dressing – Brings salty, savory depth from Parmesan, anchovy, and spices.
• ½ cup sour cream – Adds silky creaminess and prevents the sauce from breaking.
• 1 tsp garlic powder – Enhances the savory Caesar profile.
• ½ tsp black pepper – Balances the richness with gentle heat.
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided) – Sharp, nutty flavor that melts into a golden crust.
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese – Creates that irresistible gooey, stretchy top layer.
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley – Freshens and brightens the final dish.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Mix the sauce: Whisk Caesar dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, black pepper, and ½ cup Parmesan until smooth.
3. Arrange the chicken in the dish and coat each piece generously with the sauce.
4. Top with cheese: Scatter the remaining ½ cup Parmesan and the mozzarella evenly over the chicken.
5. Bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake another 15–20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Broil 2–3 minutes to achieve a beautifully golden finish—watch carefully to avoid burning.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
