Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Place the chicken in a baking dish, brush each piece with barbecue sauce, and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, top with shredded cheese and bacon, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.

For a smoky twist, use smoked paprika in the seasoning.
