Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Split chicken breasts down the middle with a knife, but do not cut fully in half.

Mix cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, buttermilk, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon thyme together in a bowl. Divide mixture and stuff evenly into split chicken breasts. Set into a casserole dish.
