Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 slices cooked bacon
• 1 large avocado
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup baby spinach

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 5

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken is baking, slice the avocado into thin slices and set aside.

Step 9

Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the skillet from the oven. Top each chicken breast with a slice of cheddar cheese and a slice of cooked bacon.

Step 10

Return the skillet to the oven for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Step 11

In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the baby spinach until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 12

To serve, plate each chicken breast and top with a few slices of avocado. Add the sautéed spinach as a side.
