While this recipe looks complicated it is really rather easy, and produces chicken that is highly flavorful. I did use reduced fat cheese, turkey bacon and egg substitute with good success. The pepper sauce is delicious and a perfect compliment to the chicken. Thank you Riffraff for sharing the recipe.
