I loved this recipe, we're picky eaters and everyone loved them. I did leave out the hot peppers though, not a fan. They were a lot bigger in size then we imagined they'd be, one is a meal by itself. I would recommend them to anyone.

Along with this baked delicious main course I am serving an 8oz. block of cream cheese with an entire jar of hot pepper jelly poured over the top of it. I will serve it with celery sticks as an added highlight to the chicken bundles. Also frozen whole kernel corn - 2 cups cooked in 2 Tbsp. browned butter with 1 tsp. white sugar, s & p to taste (no added liquids) - is the perfect vegetable side dish.
