Instructions:
- Prep the Chicken: Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure each piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until golden brown and cooked through. If you’re using a meat thermometer, aim for an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Melt the Cheese: Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of each piece. Cover the skillet and let it sit for a minute or two until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet and sprinkle with fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor. Serve it up with a side of your favorite veggies, a salad, or even over a bed of rice or pasta.
- Enjoy: The cheesy, perfectly cooked chicken is ready to be devoured. And trust me—this is one dish you’ll want to make again and again.
