Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup butter , or as needed
1 (6 oz) package chicken-flavored stuffing mix (such as stovetop)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin
4 slices provolone cheese
1 cup canola oil , or as needed

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Bring water and butter to a boil in a saucepan; stir in stuffing mix. Cover and remove saucepan from heat. Let stand until water is absorbed, 5 minutes; fluff stuffing with a fork.
Place flour in a medium bowl. Whisk eggs in a separate bowl. Combine bread crumbs, pecans, salt, and pepper together in a third bowl.
Fill each chicken breast with 1/4 of the stuffing and a provolone cheese slice. Roll each chicken breast around the filling; tie kitchen twine around each rolled breast to keep closed.
Coat each chicken roll in flour; dip each chicken roll into whisked eggs. Press each chicken roll in the bread crumb-pecan mixture until fully coated.
Pour canola oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1/4 inch and heat until little wisps of smoke rise from the oil.
Fry coated chicken in the hot oil until crust is lightly browned, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until 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).
