I get so tired of fixing chicken the same way that’s why I made these Feta Cheese Chicken Breasts. I buy a lot of chicken breasts, because when you can catch a sale, they are very affordable for quick dinner options. So, finding new tasty ways to fix them is a happy day in my house! Not everybody is a fan of feta cheese.
If you want to branch out and try new cheeses, feta is a great place to start. It’s a milder cheese (unlike blue cheese) and its great on salads. I found out tonight that its also great melted on top of tomatoes and a chicken breast! More like awesome.
This is also a great meal to entertain with because it looks like it took you a lot longer to prepare than it did. The presentation is pretty. Serve it with a green salad to make the colors pop.Publix has their feta cheese on sale this week. I had chicken breasts in the freezer and had cherry tomatoes leftover from the Bacon and Tomato Frittata. You will love this change on the chicken breast!
Feta Cheese Chicken Breasts Recipe:
Feta Cheese Chicken Breasts Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Italian dressing
1 large Roma tomato, sliced (I used cherry tomatoes)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
How To Make Feta Cheese Chicken Breasts:
Preheat oven to broil.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Pound chicken breasts slightly in a large zippy bag to even the thickness for easier cooking. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook in a skillet on one side for approximately 6 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip over. Baste the cooked side with Italian dressing.
Cook for approximately 4-6 minutes. Place chicken in an oven safe dish (if your skillet isn’t made to be put under the broiler- I don’t know if any are!) Top chicken breasts with tomatoes and feta cheese.
Place 4 inches under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with rice and green beans or a salad.
Enjoy!
