4. Assemble
- Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.Spacing them apart slightly ensures even cooking and prevents excess liquid from pooling.
- Spoon the Caesar–Parmesan sauce over each piece, spreading it to cover the top of the chicken completely.As it bakes, this mixture melts down into a creamy, rich coating.
- If you’d like added richness, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauced chicken breasts.Mozzarella creates a soft, stretchy cheese layer that browns beautifully in the final minutes.
5. Bake
- Bake the chicken uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.The sauce should bubble gently around the edges, and the top will look softly golden.
- For a deeper golden finish, switch the oven to broil for the final 2–3 minutes.Watch closely during broiling to avoid over-browning.
6. Serve
- Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes, then top with freshly chopped parsley and a light sprinkle of Parmesan.The herbs add freshness that balances the creamy sauce.
- Serve hot with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables—anything that pairs well with the rich Caesar flavor.
