Delicious Tangy Spicy Chicken stuffed with Feta Cheese and Salsa for an easy meal packed with flavour.

Whenever chicken breasts are on the menu for dinner, I love to add a filling to help keep the chicken breasts tender. Feta and Salsa go perfectly together too. The saltiness of the feta cheese against the tangy feta is just delicious.

Super quick to make, so perfect for a weekday meal when you get home from work. It really is just a case of seasoning the chicken, making a pocket, in the chicken breast, stuffing with the feta and salsa and baking in the oven. All done in less than 30 mins.

If making this Spicy Chicken stuffed with Feta Cheese and Salsa just for adults, you can use a hot salsa too, or using a mild if serving for kids. I love to use a chunky salsa.

You can totally make your own salsa, but the store bought one I use has no added sugar, is super low in syns, so it super convenient for this quick meal.

How can I add a 1/3 speed foods to this Spicy Chicken stuffed with Feta Cheese and Salsa?

I like to serve this with some roasted butternut squash cubes seasoning with salt, paprika and black pepper and baby green salad leaves, it pairs really well with the stuffed chicken, but rice, quinoa and even pasta would also go well too with your own choice of vegetables. The chicken on its own is also suitable for an SP day, just make sure the sides you choose to go along with it, are SP friendly.
