Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or set up a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts on both sides with olive oil and season evenly with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, combine prepared horseradish, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, and ground cayenne pepper to make the red horseradish sauce. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill and cook for 5–6 minutes on one side without moving them to allow nice grill marks to form.
Flip the chicken breasts and brush the cooked side generously with the red horseradish sauce. Cook for another 5–6 minutes on the other side.
Flip the chicken breasts once more and baste the other side with the sauce. Continue grilling for an additional 2–3 minutes per side, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled chicken with any remaining red horseradish sauce on the side and enjoy!
