Chicken Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 breasts)
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing - use recipe below to make your own
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 ounces block parmesan cheese, grated fine, divided

Caesar Dressing

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or plain greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp anchovy paste
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 oz Parmesan cheese, grated fine
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

Chicken

  • Start by preparing Caesar dressing
  • Preheat oven to 375
  • Spray a 9x13 dish with non stick spray. Lay chicken in dish.
  • Sprinkle chicken with half of the parmesan cheese and pepper, Do not salt the chicken
  • Mix together dressing and sour cream in a bowl.
  • Pour the dressing/sour cream mixture over chicken and sprinkle on remaining parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reaches 165
  • Next, place chicken under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, until the chicken turns golden brown. This can happen FAST - keep a close eye on it.
  • Remove from broiler and cover loosely with foil and let sit and rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Dressing

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender.
  • Blend for about 10 seconds or until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings - salt, pepper, anchovy paste (this has points, be careful how much you use)
  • Store in refrigerator, chill for 30 minutes before using.
