Chicken and Garlic Parmesan Polenta

Many dinners that I prepare consist of seeing what is on hand and determining a menu from those ingredients. I don’t like going shopping for one dish. I have a fair amount of pantry space and a large freezer so can typically find ingredients to make something.

Last night I wanted to use some chicken thighs from the freezer and decided to serve them with polenta and a green vegetable. I hate to admit this but here goes…I’ve been cooking Italian dishes forever, love food from the North, South and in between, but have never made polenta before. Why? Well I really have no idea ;maybe it was from those years in the south when corn meal was used for grits, something I thought of as a breakfast staple? It was time to take this plunge and they were beyond easy AND tasted yummy AND could easily become a dinner staple. I can imagine so many variations on a theme, spices, cream, cheeses…heaven!

This dish was so simple, I would say less than an hour from start to finish so a great weeknight meal for a busy family…or even me!
