How to make Chicken Polenta directions

  Melt butter in a deep skillet. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and sauté them for 5 minutes. Flip the breasts and sauté for 5 additional minutes until they are very brown. Stir garlic and tomatoes into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. While stirring occasionally, cover the skillet and continue cooking for 15 minutes.

  Boil 5 cups of salted water in a large saucepan over high heat. Whisk in the polenta and continue to stir it constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the mixture until the polenta is thick, creamy and tender. Whisk the polenta frequently, and adjust the heat of the stove to maintain a gentle simmer 25 to 30 minutes. Once the polenta has finished cooking, mix in parmesan cheese. Season the polenta with black pepper to taste.
