1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add green pepper; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in cream cheese.
