Instructions
- 1
Lay the bacon strips in a cold large skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the strips are crisp, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and pour off all but about 1 tsp of the drippings from the skillet. Once cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon and set aside.

While the bacon cooks, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Pat the chicken breasts dry and coat all over with the spice mixture.
