Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups crushed Caesar salad croutons
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides and arrange them in a single layer in the baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, sour cream, and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth and thick.
  4. Spoon the sauce evenly over each chicken breast, spreading it to the edges to ensure the meat stays moist.
  5. In a separate bowl, toss the crushed croutons with melted butter and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Sprinkle the crouton mixture generously over the sauce-covered chicken.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
