Description

Baked Caesar Chicken with Creamy Parmesan Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines tender chicken breasts with a rich, flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

Chicken breasts: 3 boneless

skinless pieces

Olive oil: 2 tablespoons

Salt and black pepper: To taste

Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon

Paprika: 0.5 teaspoon

Heavy cream: 1 cup

Grated Parmesan cheese: 0.5 cup

Dijon mustard: 1 teaspoon

Lemon juice: 1 teaspoon

Dried thyme or Italian seasoning: 0.5 teaspoon

Fresh parsley: Chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
In a baking dish, coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the creamy Parmesan sauce by combining heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and dried thyme or Italian seasoning in a saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the sauce for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the creamy Parmesan sauce over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and spices for an hour before baking. You can also serve this dish with a side of roasted vegetables or pasta.
