Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Patted dry
  • 3/4 to 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Fresh-grated gives better flavor
  • 1 cup Sour cream Can use low-fat if desired
  • 3/4 to 1 cup Caesar salad dressing Use your favorite brand or homemade

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Sprinkle grated Parmesan evenly over both sides of each breast and place them in the baking dish in a single layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream and Caesar dressing until smooth. Adjust seasoning if the dressing is very salty.
Baking
  1. Spoon or pour the sour cream–Caesar mixture over the Parmesan-coated chicken, making sure each breast is well covered.
  2. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Thicker breasts may need a few extra minutes.
  3. Remove the foil and switch the oven to broil. Broil for 1–3 minutes, watching carefully, until the top is golden and bubbling.
  4. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
