Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat.
While the chicken is searing, crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix them with melted butter to create a crumble. Set aside.
Break the chocolate bars into smaller pieces and set them aside.
Place 2 large marshmallows and a few pieces of chocolate on top of each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumble over the top of the marshmallow and chocolate layer.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Keep an eye on the marshmallows to ensure they don't burn.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
