1 cup Caesar dressing
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a baking dish.
2. Place chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared dish.
3. In a bowl, mix Caesar dressing, sour cream, and black pepper until smooth.
4. Spread the sauce evenly over the chicken.
5. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of each breast.

Notes
For extra crispy tops, broil for the last 2 minutes of baking.
Thick chicken breasts retain moisture better—avoid thin cuts.
