How To Make Chicken Polenta

Step 1: You will need

Hi there! I'm Matt from the underground cookery school. And today I'm going to do a video cookery lesson for you. So I'm going to show you ho to cook a chicken polenta.

The chicken is actually already in the oven, I just filleted the breast, olive oil, salt and pepper and that's roasting off, takes about twenty five minutes to roast the breast off. I've got my polenta here, which is a cornmeal or a maize and that just goes straight into an empty pan. I've got some boiling water on the go and I'm going to cover the entire ingredient with that water.

That then goes in the hob and what will happen is that over the course of the next 7 or eight minutes, I'll just keep moving this until it turns into a really thick, well cooked polenta come back in about 6 or 7 minutes and you'll see what I mean. Now that polenta has cooked through beautifully, it's got quite a high content of gelatin in it so it will set quite quickly. I'm just going to turn it down and also in here I just roasted off a supreme of chicken which we'll going to top this dish with.

But now it's just simply a question of adding the polenta to the dish, traditionally polenta was always quite considered to be peasant food but now it's becoming more and more popular in Michelin starred restaurants. So what I'm going to do is just use that as a base of my dish like that, then what we'll do is we'll take our roasted chicken breast, as I said that's just been roasting in the oven now for about twenty minutes. So that will go on top and then we'll just add a drizzle of olive oil and there you have the perfect recipe for polenta chicken.
