Step 1

Place 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper paprika and 1/2 teaspoon thyme together in a small bowl or bottle; pour olive oil into bowl. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate until oil is infused at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease enough baking dishes to fit all of the stuffed chicken breasts in a single layer.

Step 3

Stir ricotta cheese feta cheese eggs mushrooms artichoke hearts garlic black pepper onion powder garlic powder basil cumin and 1 tablespoon thyme together in a large bowl.

Step 4

Place chicken breasts on a flat work surface. Use a paring or boning knife to cut from one side of a chicken breast through the middle of the breast to within 1/2-inch of the other side creating a deep pocket. Spoon mushroom and artichoke mixture into chicken until pocket is full; use toothpick to close and secure the pocket. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts and filling. Place stuffed chicken in prepared baking dishes.

Step 5

Brush each chicken breast with about 1 teaspoon infused olive oil and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.

Step 6

Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cool slightly before serving about 5 minutes.
