Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  
  

• 1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  
  

• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  
  

• 1 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing
  
  

• ½ cup sour cream, room temperature (optional)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 °F. Lightly spray an 8×11½‑inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
   
   

2. If chicken breasts are uneven, pound them in a sealed bag to about ¾–1 inch thickness for even cooking.
   
   

3. Season both sides of the chicken with 1 cup Parmesan and black pepper, then place in the prepared dish.
   
   

4. Whisk Caesar dressing and sour cream (if using) in a bowl. Pour over the chicken evenly, then top with remaining ½ cup Parmesan.
   
   

5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 °F in the thickest part.
   
   

6. Switch oven to broil; broil for 2–4 minutes until the top is golden brown—watch closely to avoid burning.
   
   

7. Let chicken rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5–10 minutes until it reaches 165 °F before serving.
