Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
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).
While the chicken is baking, slice the avocado into thin slices and set aside.
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.
Return the skillet to the oven for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the baby spinach until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
To serve, plate each chicken breast and top with a few slices of avocado. Add the sautéed spinach as a side.
