Steps:
- Combine basil, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender. Process until well blended. Transfer pesto to a container and store in the refrigerator until needed.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place cauliflower in a steamer insert inside a saucepan filled with 1 inch of water. Cover saucepan, bring to a boil, and steam cauliflower until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer cooked cauliflower to the blender; add 2 tablespoons of pesto and blend.
- Mix garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Place chicken on a work surface and rub spice mixture equally into breasts.
- Make a deep cut in the side of each breast to create an opening for stuffing. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken on both sides until slightly browned, about 5 minutes total.
- Return chicken to the work surface and let cool until safe to handle. Spoon pesto-cauliflower mixture into the pocket of each breast and place on a rimmed baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Set an oven rack in the center of the oven.
- Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and thyme and cook until mushrooms are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in cream cheese and season with salt. Cook and stir until cream cheese has completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Spoon mushroom-cream mixture onto the chicken breasts. Wrap chicken around the mixture and secure with toothpicks. Set chicken bundles, seam-side up, in a baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with Dijon mustard. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and return to the oven.
- Continue baking until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Discard toothpicks before serving.
