Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley optional for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Add the chicken breasts to a large bowl and season with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the chicken for about 3–4 minutes per side until lightly golden brown. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage.
  • Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the Caesar dressing, sour cream, softened cream cheese, chicken broth, and garlic until combined.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese, then pour the sauce over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes so the sauce can thicken slightly before serving.
  • Top with chopped parsley if using, then serve warm.
