Brussels sprouts with almonds, chicken, and creamy polenta - a delicious combination of textures and flavors!
Ingredients:
  • 4 thin slices prosciutto
  • 4 (about 150g each) chicken breast fillets
  • Olive oil spray
  • 2 French shallots, peeled, finely chopped
  • 40g (1/4 cup) slivered almonds
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 250g brussels sprouts, trimmed, coarsely shredded
  • 500ml (2 cups) skim milk
  • 170g (1 cup) instant polenta (cornmeal)
Instructions:
  • - Preheat your oven to 200°C. - Gently wrap a slice of prosciutto around the center of each chicken breast. - Coat a non-stick frying pan with oil spray and warm over medium-high heat. - Sear the chicken for 2 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. - Place the seared chicken on a baking tray. - Bake for 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Spray the frying pan generously with oil. Sauté the shallot, stirring, for 2 minutes until it softens slightly. Add almonds, garlic, and lemon rind and cook for 2 minutes until almonds are light golden. Incorporate the brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with pepper to taste.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, bring milk and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Slowly pour in polenta while stirring continuously for 6 minutes until it becomes soft and creamy. Season to taste.
  • Spoon the polenta onto serving plates and layer with the chicken and brussels sprouts mixture.
