1

Season chicken breasts on all sides with paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Massage the seasonings into the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes.

Melt butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Dredge the seasoned chicken breasts in all-purpose flour, ensuring they are fully coated.

Place the chicken in the hot skillet and brown for about 4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Once browned, transfer the chicken to a baking dish.

Add the diced sweet onion to the same skillet with the remaining butter and chicken drippings. Sauté until softened and caramelized.

7

In a separate saucepan, combine the cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

8

Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

9

Spoon the sautéed onions over the chicken in the baking dish.

10

Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the chicken and onions.

11

Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top.
