Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Rub each breast with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated.

In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the chicken is fully cooked through.
