1-Getting started: Getting started with this Caesar chicken is simple and fun, especially when you’re aiming for that creamy sauce and crispy croutons. First, preheat your oven to 375°F and spray an 8×11½-inch baking pan with nonstick spray to keep things easy. If your chicken breasts vary in thickness, pound them to an even ¾-1 inch for uniform cooking.

2-Next, sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast with 1 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese and the ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and move on to mixing the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing and ½ cup sour cream if you’re using it.

3-Pour this creamy mixture over the chicken breasts, then top with the remaining ½ cup Parmesan cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer shows 150°F in the thickest part. For a golden finish, broil for 2-4 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest covered with foil for 5-10 minutes, and garnish with chopped parsley if you like.
