  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line or lightly grease the pan you plan to use.
  2. 1. Heat your oven to 375°F and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  3. 2. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a deep horizontal pocket into the side of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
  4. 3. Combine the au jus and ranch seasoning packets in a small bowl, then rub half of this mixture all over the chicken breasts, reserving the remainder for future use.
  5. 4. Mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded Monterey Jack, mayonnaise, and chopped pepperoncini until smooth and well blended.
  6. 5. Divide the cream cheese filling among the four chicken pockets, stuffing each breast generously.
  7. 6. Arrange the stuffed breasts in your prepared dish and place 1 tablespoon of butter (cut into thin slices) on top of each piece.
  8. 7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature and is fully cooked through.
  9. Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
  10. 8. Garnish with extra pepperoncini rings if desired before serving.
  11. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
