  1. Take your chicken breast and butterfly it by making a careful horizontal cut through the middle, opening it like a book. Make sure not to cut all the way through.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chilli powder, paprika, dried thyme, and cumin with enough olive oil to form a flavorful paste. This will be your seasoning rub.
  3. Take your time rubbing the seasoning paste thoroughly over both the inside and outside of the butterflied chicken breast. Don't skimp on the edges.
  4. Place cream cheese in the centre of the opened chicken breast, laying it right along the fold line. Sprinkle a little extra salt over the cream cheese to enhance its flavour.
  5. Carefully fold the top half of the chicken over the cream cheese, creating a stuffed pocket. Don't worry if some cream cheese squeezes out the sides.
  6. Transfer your stuffed chicken breast onto a baking tray. If any seasoning paste is left in your bowl, brush it over the top of the chicken.
  7. Place the tray in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
  8. While the chicken bakes, prepare your salad by combining fresh mixed greens with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  9. Just before serving, drizzle the salad with a good quality balsamic vinegar.
  10. Do a final taste test of your chicken and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed. The cream cheese should be fully melted and creamy inside.
