Season the chicken with coarsely ground black pepper and salt.

Place cheese inside each butterflied chicken breast.

Add tomato slices into the chicken.

Top with mustard cheese pieces and sprinkle with paprika.

Optionally, spread pesto on the chicken.

Fold the chicken breasts back over and wash hands before continuing.

Put on clean gloves and prepare the seasoning mix of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of a baking pan.

Place the chicken in the pan and add an extra tomato for fun.

Sprinkle with paprika and place in a 400-degree oven for 15-20 minutes, checking for doneness.

After baking, sprinkle fresh basil on top of the chicken.

Add provolone cheese on top of the chicken and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

Sprinkle green parts of scallions on top before serving.

Serve with pasta and additional black pepper to taste.
