Sear, bake chicken
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil on medium until shimmering. Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper. Gently loosen (but don’t separate) the skin of each breast by sliding your fingers between the skin and meat. Rub 1 tablespoon herb butter underneath the skin of each breast until evenly distributed and sprinkle paprika over the skin. Sear chicken, skin side down, until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet and bake, skin side up, until it’s no longer pink and cooked throughout, 15 to 17 minutes. Move on to next step while baking.
