Ingredients
1-½ lb. boneless, skinless chicken tenders
1 lb. broccoli florets
8 oz. sliced mushrooms
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 cup Vitacost Porcini & Truffle Polenta
1 Tbsp. garlic, chopped (I used jarred)
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
4 cups water
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Shredded parmesan, for garnish
Directions
- Line mini loaf pans with wax paper.
- In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to boil. Gradually stir in polenta and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly until thick. Pour into loaf pan and chill for 2-3 hours.
- When polenta is solid prepare the chicken. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, garlic and cayenne for a few minutes. Add chicken to skillet. Once cooked, break chicken into small pieces. Add broccoli and mushrooms. Cook until broccoli is tender but still crisp.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese over chicken and serve alongside polenta.
