Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Prepare all ingredients: chop mushrooms, dice onion, and measure seasonings.
Slice pockets into each chicken breast without cutting through.
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat; sauté chopped mushrooms for about 5 minutes. Add onions and cook until soft; stir in parsley, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Combine the sautéed mixture with half the Gouda in a bowl.
Sear each chicken breast in the skillet for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Stuff each chicken pocket generously with the mushroom-cheese mixture and place them in a baking dish.
