Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup crumbled bacon (about 4 slices)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Return the chicken to the skillet, placing it on top of the sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the sautéed vegetables.
Swap out the cheddar cheese for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
