Chicken With Garlic Vegetable Tomato Sauce Polenta Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place about 5 slices of the polenta in an even layer on the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the chicken breasts on top of the polenta slices and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top each with the Italian seasoning and Parmesan. Arrange the garlic cloves and tomatoes around the chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil.
• Bake until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes. Garnish with Parmesan and olive oil to taste. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine frozen vegetable medley in the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Place chicken on top of vegetables.
• In a large bowl, stir together pasta sauce, tomato paste, garlic and sherry. Pour 2/3 of the sauce over chicken and vegetables. Top the chicken with polenta slices and cover with remaining sauce. Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 4 to 5 hours.
• Serve hot with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Wash, trim, dry and slice mushrooms (use food processor); peel and mince garlic.
• Heat 3 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick pan. Add the mushrooms and garlic. Saute until the mushrooms begin to brown, stirring occasionally.
• Chop onion in food processor. Heat the remaining oil in a small nonstick pan and saute the onion until it begins to soften and brown.
• Shuck corn and steam for about 3 minutes.
• Scrub, trim and slice zucchini in food processor.
• Wash and chop oregano and add with the zucchini to the mushrooms and continue cooking over medium heat, five or six minutes, until zucchini is crisp but tender.
• Bring water to boil for polenta, following package directions.
• Wash, trim and slice the tomatoes in the food processor and add to onion; simmer until the rest of the dish is ready.
• Coarsely grate the cheese.
• Slowly add polenta to the boiling water and stir until mixture begins to thicken. It is ready when water is almost completely absorbed. Remove from heat and stir in half of the cheese. Then spoon immediately into large shallow baking dish, about 10 by 15 inches, and spread evenly.
• Remove enough corn from cob to make 2 cups and stir into zucchini mixture. Spoon over polenta and top with tomato sauce; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Either serve immediately or run under broiler (do not preheat) for a couple of minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• 1. Cook the chicken: 1. Cook (covered) the chicken legs thoroughly into a frying pan or a skillet. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle some water from time to time and when the chicken is almost cooked add half a glass of white wine and one or two crushed and finely chopped garlic cloves. Reduce all juices until it begins to sizzle. Brown slightly on both sides. Set aside. This should take about 20-25 min (depending on the legs size).
• 2. Making the tomato and vegetable sauce: 1. While chicken is cooking, cut the onions into halves and then make it rings, strips, however you like. I cut them into half rings by cutting the onion into two and then slice it. Cook in a pan with a little salt and pepper for about 5-7 min over medium heat. Drizzle some water from time to time so this remains nice and soft rather than caramelise.
• 3. 2. Add the carrot, parsnip, 1 bay leaf, white wine and cook (covered) for a further 5 minutes.
• 4. 3. Add the tomato paste and a drizzle of water if needed. Cook for another 5 minutes.
• 5. 4. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• 6. Make the polenta : 1. Add 1 l water to a larger saucepan. Add a teaspoon of salt and the dry or fresh rosemary. Bring to boil. Allow the water and herbs to boil for 1 minute then remove the rosemary needles. I usually use a sprig as it gets easier to remove.
• 7. 2. Add the cornmeal with one hand while whisking with the other. Whisk continuously for a minute to avoid any lumps formation.
• 8. 3. Cook for 20-25 minutes stirring every now and then. It will form a crust, do not worry that's how it should do.
• 9. 4. When ready simply dish out on plates with the help of a serving spoon.
• 10. 5. Dish out the chicken along with the tomato sauce and serve with a dollop of creme fraiche.

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of chicken with pepper. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, brown chicken on each side in 1 teaspoon oil. Remove and keep warm. , In the same skillet, saute tomatoes and garlic in remaining oil for 1 minute. Add carrots; saute 2-3 minutes longer. Combine the tomato sauce, broth, tomato paste and rosemary; stir into skillet. Bring to a boil. , Return chicken to the pan. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and carrots are crisp-tender. Serve with pasta.

Steps:

• Skin the chicken pieces, reserving the wing tips and the skin for stock.
• Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a heavy casserole and brown the chicken pieces a few at a time. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Saute the onion, garlic and chilies until they become soft (about 10 minutes).
• Stir in the cayenne and cumin. Cook a minute, then add the tomatoes, chicken stock, salt and pepper along with the chicken pieces and their juices. Cover and simmer gently about 45 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is cooked and the sauce thickens. If sauce evaporates too fast, add a little water. Correct the seasoning and when ready to serve, sprinkle with coriander.
• While the chicken is cooking, make the polenta triangles. Preheat broiler. Cook the polenta in water according to directions on package (it will take about five minutes), adding salt to taste, and pour it out onto a flat surface (a large, flat baking tin will do). Smooth it out with a spoon and cool it. Cut the polenta into triangles and place them on a broiling sheet.
• Brush the polenta triangles with the olive oil and broil until the outside is browned and crisp but the inside soft and creamy (about 15 to 20 minutes). Do not turn over. Serve with the chicken, in a separate dish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch square baking dish.
• In a large pot, combine the milk and chicken stock. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When it is at a rolling boil, gradually whisk in the cornmeal, making sure there are no lumps. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
• Pour the polenta into the prepared baking dish, and spread spaghetti sauce over the top.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until sauce is bubbling.
