"OOPAH!" FETA CHICKEN BREASTS

I developed this recipe after seeing one that was similar, but did not have tomatoes, scallions and green pepper in it. My husband normally does not like feta cheese very much, but really liked the tang it gave this dish. The dish is as colorful and eye-pleasing as it is tasty. I hope you enjoy this!

This dish is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less feta cheese.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and overcooked. I think I'll try it again with a lower cooking temperature.
