Preheat oven to 350.
Combine first four ingredients in a small bowl. Cut a horizontal slit through thickest portion of chicken to form a pocket. Stuff cheese mixture into pockets.

Heat a large ovenproof skillet sprayed with cooking spray; over medium high heat. Add 1 T. butter to the pan. Swirl until butter melts. Add chicken to pan. Cook four minutes or until browned and crisp on one side. Flip and immediately place skillet in the oven and cook 20-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
