Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Bring water and butter to a boil in a saucepan, stir in stuffing mix. Cover and remove saucepan from heat. Let stand until water is absorbed, 5 minutes, fluff stuffing with a fork.
Place flour in a medium bowl. Whisk eggs in a separate bowl. Combine bread crumbs, pecans, salt, and pepper together in a third bowl.
Fill each chicken breast with 1/4 of the stuffing and a provolone cheese slice. Roll each chicken breast around the filling, tie kitchen twine around each rolled breast to keep closed.
Coat each chicken roll in flour, dip each chicken roll into whisked eggs. Press each chicken roll in the bread crumb-pecan mixture until fully coated.
Pour canola oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1/4 inch and heat until little wisps of smoke rise from the oil.
Fry coated chicken in the hot oil until crust is lightly browned, about 5 minutes per side, transfer to a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
