Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat.
Spread an even layer of BBQ sauce over the top of each chicken breast.
Cook the turkey bacon in a non-stick pan until crispy. Once cooked, place one slice on top of each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over each chicken breast.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions and diced tomatoes.
Serve the Monterey Chicken hot with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables or a baked potato.
