Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. Carefully slice the chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket without cutting all the way through. 3. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. 4. Spread the cream cheese mixture inside the chicken pocket. 5. Place pickle slices inside the pocket over the cream cheese. 6. Secure the chicken with toothpicks if needed. 7. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. 8. Sear the chicken breast for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. 9. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. 10. Remove toothpicks, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
