Cut out a wide pocket horizontally in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4 large chicken breasts
Stuff each chicken breast with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice (or 1 ounce) of cheese.
4 slices ham, 4 slices cheese
In a small dish, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Sprinkle each stuffed chicken breast with the seasoning.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Once heated, add the chicken breasts to the pan, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned, but not cooked through. (You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your chicken breasts and pan.)
Remove the chicken breasts from the pan.
Melt the butter in the skillet. Add in the garlic and thyme, sautéing for a minute.
