Chicken with Feta Cheese Sauce
Fire up your skillet! Our chicken with feta cheese sauce is one dish that’s simply too good to pass up—and it’s easy!
Feta brings a much bolder, slightly tangy flavor to this cheese sauce than other types of cheeses. Its soft, creamy texture allows it to crumble and melt easily, making it the perfect cheese for cooking.
Feta comes in all sorts of flavors—we used the original. If you have one with sun-dried tomatoes, basil or any of the other flavored varieties, they’ll work well too. Topped with diced bright Roma tomatoes and green onions, this meal is as pretty as it is tasty.

Instructions
