Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Rub the olive oil over the chicken breasts and then season with the spice mixture.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and cover with the Paleo BBQ sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the Paleo buns by slicing them in half and toasting lightly if desired.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a few slices of the cooked chicken.
Top the chicken with sliced red onion and tomato, and then cover with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your nutritious and tasty Paleo BBQ Chicken Sandwich!
