Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 8 slices dairy-free bacon
- 4 slices vegan cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat.
Pour the barbecue sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered.
Lay two slices of dairy-free bacon over each chicken breast.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the oven and place one slice of vegan cheese on top of each piece of chicken.
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.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
