  3. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Sear the seasoned chicken in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Pour barbecue sauce over each chicken breast, then top with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
