Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Pour oil to a depth of 1/8 inch in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil about 15 to 20 minutes on each side or until done.
Transfer chicken to a baking sheet. Hold chicken with tongs, and cut a slit in 1 side of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Spoon 1/3 cup Pimiento Cheese into each pocket.
