Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, diced pears, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create pockets without cutting through. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Fill each pocket generously with the pear and cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Place stuffed chicken in the baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until juices run clear.
