Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s important to have your oven hot and ready before you put the chicken inside. This ensures even cooking and that cheesy topping gets that wonderful golden brown color.
While the oven is heating, grab a 9×13-inch or slightly smaller baking dish and spray it with cooking spray. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking and make cleanup easier.
Now, season your chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure to use just a little salt, as the Caesar dressing is already quite salty. You want to enhance the flavors, not overpower them.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the Caesar dressing and sour cream. This mixture will be your secret weapon, adding creaminess and tanginess that makes every bite a delight.
Take the seasoned chicken breasts and coat both sides with the Caesar dressing mixture. Make sure each piece is thoroughly covered for maximum flavor.
Place the coated chicken in your prepared baking dish. If there’s any extra Caesar dressing mixture left, spoon it over the top of the chicken for added richness.
Now, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken. This cheesy layer is what makes this dish so irresistible!
Pop the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. You’ll want the chicken to be cooked through and the cheese to be bubbly and golden.
For an extra touch, switch to the broiler setting for the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking. This will get the cheese nice and crispy. Just keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t burn!
Once done, remove the baking dish from the oven. If your chicken breasts are thick, consider adding an extra 5 to 10 minutes of baking time to ensure they’re cooked through.
Finally, sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top for a pop of color and serve warm. Enjoy the deliciousness!
