With an entire block of rich and tangy feta cheese nestled in between colorful vegetables, this creamy sauce is the perfect comfort sauce for juicy chicken and fluffy rice. Feta is the perfect cheese to use in this dish because it brings the right level of salt and depth when mixed into fresh and juicy roasted vegetables. To prepare the rice without the Suvie Starch Cooker, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, add 1 cup rice, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
