Enjoyed this recipe veery much, was very surprised at how good it taste, although I did not hot have the green pepper I subws celery and red onion in my sauce and this worked very well, it was easy to make but time consuming and worth every minute , great taste, used jumbo lump crab and a basic crab imperial inside the chicken, very good indeed, just a small amount of Myer lemon and a big pinch of Old Bay for good measure, we loved it!
