I made this recipe for dinner last night and the family is still giving rave reviews. It all started with the Grill being out of gas....so I had to improvise. I roasted the peppers in the oven (under the boiler). Cooked the chicken in a frying pan, then topped it off by melting the cheese under the broiler. I did put the spinach on top of the chicken and the feta on top of the spinach, but boy, oh boy yummy!! And the red pepper sauce has been requested at every meal from now on.
