Chicken Cannelloni with Red Pepper Sauce

This is a hit!! Yum! We love Italian and Tony is very selective, being Italian, I am always a little nervous to try new recipes since he grew up with the REAL THING. The recipe takes a little time to put together but it tastes like it takes a lot longer! Try it with garlic bread and salad...It won't let you down!
