Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating it evenly on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat on the stove. Once melted, add the chicken and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from heat.
Place the skillet with the chicken into the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the chickenβs internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (75Β°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your delicious oven-baked chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes!
