Method
Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- 2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of provolone cheese on each chicken breast and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
