1/4 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded → lactose-free or aged hard cheese (naturally lower lactose)

Combine panko, cheese, and smoked paprika-garlic blend in a shallow dish. Preheat oven to 425F.
Pat chicken dry with paper towel. Carefully slice into the centre of each chicken breast lengthwise and parallel to the cutting board - leaving 1/2 inch intact on the other end. Open up chicken like a book, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Coat one side of each chicken breast with mayo. Firmly press mayo-coated side into panko mixture to adhere, one at a time.
Transfer chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet, coated-side up. Bake chicken on the middle oven rack until cooked through (18-20 mins).
