Baked Feta Chicken

Add spinach: Stir in a few handfuls of baby spinach after baking and mixing the sauce.
Make it spicy: Sprinkle 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes before baking.
Make it with Boursin cheese: If you don’t love feta cheese, place a block of garlic and herb Boursin cheese in the center and bake.
Dairy free: You can buy dairy free Boursin cheese. For a vegan feta cheese alternative, look for the Daiya or Violife brands.
Add other veggies: Chopped bell peppers or sliced mushrooms would be nice.
Other add-ins: Toss in some sun dried tomatoes or artichoke hearts when you add the feta. Or sprinkle in kalamata olives or capers towards the end of the cooking time.
Nuts: Garnish with some chopped almonds, pine nuts, or walnuts for a little crunch.
Dried herbs: Substitute Italian seasoning or mix and match dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley, or a Mediterranean blend for unique flavors.

What to Serve with Feta Chicken?
The sauce is perfect for dressing up pasta or rice, and for a lighter option, you can’t beat a fresh side salad.

Pasta: Pair it with your favorite pasta such as spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne. I served it over cavatappi pasta.
Rice: Serve with Instant Pot brown rice, Instant Pot long grain white rice, or cauliflower rice for a low carb option.
Green salads: A simple spring mix salad or lettuce salad recipe adds a refreshing touch.
Vegetables: Like roasted asparagus, broccoli, garlic green beans and crispy Parmesan potatoes make excellent sides.
Bread: Crusty bread or garlic bread is perfect for soaking up the creamy sauce.
How to Store and Reheat
Store: If you find yourself with leftovers, simply let them cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Reheat: Feta chicken bake warms up beautifully! You can reheat it in a microwave or for a stovetop option, gently simmer it in a covered pot on low heat.

Freeze: Pop the delicious leftovers into an airtight container and stash them in the freezer, good for up to 3 months.
