Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add in onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms; saute until vegetables are tender, about 5 - 7 minutes; add garlic during the final minute of cooking.
Meanwhile, pound out chicken breasts until thin, or butterfly breasts. Evenly spoon vegetable mixture into the middle of each breast; place 1/4 c. cheese on each breast. Fold chicken breasts over to keep filling inside. Secure with wooden toothpicks.
Place chicken in prepared baking dish. Squeeze lemon juice over chicken breasts.
In a small bowl combine cumin, chili powder, onion powder, salt and red pepper flakes; sprinkle over chicken breasts.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
