I'll preface this post by saying that I am not a very confident cook. For a long time I wouldn't bring meals to new moms at church because I was afraid that the family wouldn't like it. Or when we have people come over I make recipes that I know other people I know and trust have made and enjoyed. I'm very hesitant in the kitchen to make up my own recipes, or to deviate from a written recipe. And to be honest, very often I do not try to cook with new ingredients (until recently that is!) Last week it was Eggplant Parmesan, a recipe from my all time favorite magazine cookbook, Everyday Food (best gift ever 2 years ago which keeps coming every month!) And it was delish! Even Greg liked it, who was very hesitant after my mom bought it, saying "Is she planning for US to eat that thing?"
I was very excited when last week, I received my Bzz Agent kit for President Cheese. As a Bzz Agent, I get to try products for FREE and give my honest opinion (no pay for doing so.) So I eagerly looked through my Bzz Kit, and then went through my tried and true cookbooks, and discovered this recipe for Chicken with Feta Cheese. And if you can't already tell from my post title, it was delish, and.....wait for it, wait for it...
Greg even liked it, no, loved it! And this from the man who does not like, or more accurately, hates white food and creamy food. Well, he got both in the meal and devoured 2 big chicken breasts. The President Feta Cheese made the chicken moist, and boy, oh boy, was it packed with flavor! Oh and the aroma while I was cooking the chicken, fabulous! And the best part, I felt like a confident cook! I used an ingredient I normally wouldn't (I LOVE feta cheese, but the extent of my using it has been on salads!), and the result was perfect. Not the same old, same old chicken, I've been known to make.
As I said before, I get to try products for free as a Bzz Agent, and as part of the marketing, pass out coupons for others to try the product. I have 5 $1 off coupons to give away. So, if you want one, leave me a message with a recipe you would like to try using President Cheese and the first 5 people to do so, will get a coupon!

Your Chicken with Feta sounds awesome, I wouldn't mind borrowing that recipe. I also get the Everyday food mag. It usually has simple recipes in it. I would use my cheese on homemade pizza and breadsticks.
Oh how i wish I could snag a coupon but alas....no using coupons and no cheese.....the recipes sounds great though- congrats!! ANd I always thought everything you made was yummy- I ALWAYS used that recipe you made once for avocado salad with chicken...I think it was rick bayless :)
