Almond Balsamic Strawberry Glazed Chicken with Crumbled Feta


 In leu of the new strawberry Shakeology coming out today... I had to go strawberry somewhere :) Excited and want to try the new Shakeology flavor like I am?!? You can grab your bag by clicking here :)  

   I can't even begin to describe how savory and sweet this recipe this chicken is.. so delish!!! Since I started this blog I have opened my palette and I can say I'll never go back to the boring cheeseburger and fries girl I used to be; Even though you can bet I'll be hitting up Blake's Lotaburger for a Green Chile Lotaburger and seasoned fries... drool (All my NM friends know the level of taste bud joy I'm speaking of) in good ole' New Mexico for the most epic cheat meal ever on our way to our new home in Louisiana!

   But seriously forcing myself to use up all the pantry "left-overs" has brought me to create some of the best dishes (according to my husband) I have ever cooked up... this chicken is no different.. simply scrumptious! It has been a money saver too.. I never realized how much options we had and how much money we've wasted buying the same old weekly dishes instead of branching out like this... Plus it's like playing my own house version of Chopped!!!
