Savory chicken and mushrooms over creamy cheese polenta is simply delicious.
Ingredients:
  • 13.80 gm olive oil
  • 8 (about 800g) chicken thigh fillets, excess fat trimmed
  • 200g portobello mushrooms, quartered
  • 200g cap mushrooms, quartered
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1L (4 cups) water
  • 500ml (2 cups) chicken style liquid stock
  • 375g instant polenta (cornmeal)
  • 100ml extra-light thickened cream
  • 50g (1/3 cup) coarsely grated parmesan
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, sizzle 1 teaspoon of oil. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Rest on a plate, tented with foil to maintain warmth.
  • In a pan over medium-high heat, swirl the remaining oil. Add mushroom, garlic, and thyme. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushroom is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • While the stock and water come to a boil in a large saucepan, slowly drizzle in the polenta, stirring constantly until well mixed. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes until thickened and soft. Remove from heat and mix in cream, parmesan, salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Dole out the polenta onto serving plates, then layer on the savory chicken and mushroom concoction for a delightful presentation.
