Mix until well combined.Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Stuff the Chicken:Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each chicken pocket, spreading it evenly.Fold the chicken breast back over to cover the stuffing, tucking the edges under to seal.Bake the Chicken:Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil and line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.Place the stuffed chicken breasts on the baking sheet, seam-side down.Season the tops of the chicken breasts with a little more salt and pepper.Optionally, sprinkle a bit more Parmesan on top for an extra crispy crust.Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the tops are golden brown.Rest and Serve:Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.Serve alongside the caramelized cauliflower rice (recipe below).
