For extra flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. Make sure the cream cheese is softened for a smoother filling. Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the chicken, work in batches if necessary. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
