Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt of choice
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or any high heat oil
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • ¼ cup BBQ Sauce
  • 7 ounces sliced cheddar cheese
  • 8 ounces bacon cooked and crumbled

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and fresh ground pepper.
  • Rub the spice mixture over the chicken breasts. Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Remove from the heat and carefully spread the BBQ sauce over the chicken. Top with the cheese slices and bacon.
  • Cook in the preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the chicken registers 160° F with an instant-read thermometer.
  • Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
