To prepare sauce, in a small saucepan over med heat, melt margarine. Stir in flour until well combined. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 8 to 10 min. Remove from heat; stir in 1/4 cup of cheddar.
Place chicken breasts on serving plates. Drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar. Garnish with paprika.
