Common Questions

Can I use light cream instead of heavy cream?

You can, but the sauce will be thinner. Heavy cream is recommended for that signature "creamy" consistency that doesn't separate during baking.

What should I serve with Baked Caesar Chicken?

This pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes, steamed green beans, or even a simple Caesar salad to keep the theme going!

How do I know the chicken is done?

Use a meat thermometer; it should register 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part of the breast.
