Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the French onion soup evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.
Add the chicken
Arrange the thinly sliced chicken breasts in a single layer over the soup.
Season with pepper and paprika to taste.
Spread the French onion dip
Using about half of the container, spread the French onion dip evenly over the tops of the chicken.
Add the croutons
Crush the croutons into coarse crumbs and sprinkle them evenly over the chicken.
Top with cheese
Layer slices of pepper jack cheese over the top.
(Provolone, mozzarella, or Swiss cheese are also delicious options.)
Bake
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for 10 more minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
