Place one chicken breast half at a time, shiny-side down, between two sheets of waxed paper. With a wooden mallet or rolling pin, flatten to 1/4 -inch thickness. Peel off waxed paper.
In a small bowl, stir avocados, bacon, green onions, lemon juice, salt and hot pepper sauce until well blended.
Place about 3 tablespoons of the avocado-bacon mixture and 2 tablespoons of the cheese in center of each breast. Fold breast over and enclose mixture, tucking in ends. Fasten with wooden picks.
On a sheet of waxed paper, mix bread crumbs and lemon pepper. Dip chicken into butter or margarine, then into seasoned bread crumbs, coating well. Place in a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Pour remaining butter or margarine around chicken. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate up to 1 hour.
Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 15 minutes. Baste with butter or margarine and bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until chicken is tender. Remove wooden picks.
Serve with lemon.
