Chicken breasts are incredibly versatile, and I think feta cheese is so underrated. You can buy feta in so many different flavors...basil and tomato is our favorite.—Vicki Smith, Okeechobee, Florida

Just saw the local Providence news use this recipe! Missed it on tv, so I searched for it & who would thunk it's a fellow Okeechobee, Floridian who posted it?

Lived there for over 30 years! Wow...

This is a fantastic recipe & it shold be re-posted & brought to the light of day again!

Delicious! Only drawback? Need to double for my family of 4! No leftovers in my house & everyone wanted more!

I used salsa instead of diced tomatoes and sprinkled a tablespoon of feta cheese into the salsa while cooking. Hubby said it was awesome!
