Moxie Kitchen
Ingredients
-
2 Tablespoons olive oil
-
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut in 4 equal size pieces
-
2 tsp Moxie Flavor Bomb Anything
-
8 oz Feta cheese
-
¾ Cup Greek Yogurt
-
1 T Moxie Mediterranean
-
1 Tablespoon olive oil
-
2 tsp Moxie Flavor Bomb Anything
-
1 pints grape or cherry tomatoes (washed and dried well)
-
Balsamic vinegar, balsamic reduction or prepared balsamic glaze for garnish if desired*
Chicken
Herb Whipped Feta
Blistered Tomatoes
Directions
Season chicken with Moxie Flavor Bomb Anything seasoning.
Add olive oil to the pan and heat over medium high heat. Cook chicken on both sides until lightly browned and a temperature of 155° F. Remove from heat, cover with a lid and set aside until temperature rises to 160° F before serving.
While chicken is cooking, make the feta by combining feta, yogurt and seasoning in a food processor or blender. Pulse on high until you have a smooth consistency, about 20-30 seconds depending on feta. Set aside and keep at room temp while preparing the tomatoes.*
Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat until hot. Add oil, wait until very hot and then add tomatoes. Leave them in the pan, untouched, for 1 minute. You may hear them pop- don’t worry! Turn tomatoes over to blister the other side. Sprinkle with seasoning, stir gently as to not break them and remove from heat.
Place 6 ounces of chicken, 2 Tablespoon of whipped feta and ½ Cup tomatoes on a plate and drizzle with a splash of balsamic or balsamic glaze if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Recipe Note
Chef's Notes:
* If making the feta more than 30 minutes ahead of time, place in an airtight container and refrigerate. Bring to room temp before serving.
** To make an easy balsamic reduction that is sweeter and more flavorful than traditional Balsamic vinegar, simply add 1 C balsamic vinegar to a small pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 -25 minutes until most of the liquid is evaporated and a thick syrup that covers the back of a spoon remains. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Use on everything!
