recipe

Chicken breast

Step 1

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Season all over with salt & pepper. Optional: for crispier chicken, coat the chicken in a bit of flour!

Step 2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken 4-5 min per side, or until it's fully cooked. Remove from the heat & set aside.

Milk (whole)

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, simmer milk over low heat. Season with salt & pepper. Stir it all together.

Polenta

Step 4

Just before the milk reaches a boil, stir in dry polenta. Continue mixing until it becomes thick & creamy.

Parmesan (grated)

Step 5

Once the polenta has thickened, add a dab of butter (optional) & grated parmesan. Mix well & set aside.

Pesto
Arugula

Step 6

Serve the polenta on a plate with a drizzle of pesto. Slice the chicken & arrange it on top of the polenta with a side of arugula. Top with grated parmesan & season to taste. Serve & enjoy!
