MEXICAN POLENTA CASSEROLE
My family lovingly calls this dish "Mexican slop". I found this recipe online awhile back, and it originally included 1 lb ground beef instead of the chicken. I've never tried it with beef, but I'm sure it would taste good that way too. Great served with some sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

MEXICAN POLENTA PIE
This is from Betty Crocker's "Good and Easy Dinners" with my adaptation. Go mild or spicy...it's up to you. This is good for when you don't have any meat defrosted for dinner but you want something hearty, pretty and kid-pleasing. (It qualifies also as pure comfort food - bonus!) For the crushed tortilla chips, try a combo of Doritos and plain Tostitos...Fritos are good, as well.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375.
- Mix cornmeal, water, chicken broth and salt in medium saucepan. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium, continue cooking, stirring frequently, until mixture is very thick and stiff (2 to 5 minutes). Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes.
- Stir in egg and half-n-half.
- Spread cornmeal mixture into buttered 9" pie plate. (*I find that using a lightly buttered sandwich-baggie over my hand works great for this, to push the cornmeal mixture evenly into the pie plate and up the sides.) Bake uncovered 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix salsa, jalapenos (if using)and beans in medium bowl; mash a little with a potato masher to incorporate.
- When cornmeal crust is done, spread bean mixture over evenly.
- Sprinkle with cheese and tortilla chips.
- Bake uncovered 20 minutes.
- Let stand a few minutes before slicing.
- Top individual servings with sour cream.
MEXICAN POLENTA MEATLOAF
I was in the mood for meatloaf and didn't have the usual ingredients. I also had a hankering for Mexican food so I gave myself the best of both worlds. Since I didn't have any bread or bread crumbs, I decided to use tortilla chips and for grins added a 1/2 container of leftover prepared polenta along with the Mexican spices. I used the San Gennaro brand of pre-cooked polenta. It came out beautifully and was a perfect meal on a cold winter evening. I believe that next time, I will layer the polenta with the cheese in the center rather than mix it in with the meat and see what that is like.

MEXICAN CHICKEN AND POLENTA
Based on a Weight Watchers recipe, I've tweaked this to suit my own tastes to create a little more flavor contrast between the polenta and chicken. Though the dish is light, family and guests will never know it. I usually serve this with some black beans and a crispy green salad,

Steps:
- Place chicken in a large skillet and cover with water; add chopped cilantro, oregano, onion and peeled clove of garlic.
- Cook chicken breasts over medium heat about 10 to 15 minutes; chicken should no longer be pink in center; remove chicken from pan and let cool; reserve liquid.
- Add ancho peppers to the reserved liquid in pan; cover and soak about 10 minutes (no heat on pan); drain liquid into a bowl.
- (Sometimes, I add the whole ancho to the pand and seed after they are softened.) Shred cooled chicken and set aside.
- Place peppers, garlic, tomato sauce and cumin in blender and blend on high until smooth, about 2 minutes; if you have an immersion blender you can add everything to the pan and blend.
- Pour mixture into a saucepan, add chicken and heat through about 3 or 4 minutes; use drained poaching liquid to thin a bit if it seems too dry.
- To make polenta, bring water to a boil; add salt.
- Add about 1/2 cup of the water to the cornmeal to make a paste or slurry; Slowly add cornmeal slurry to the boiling water, stirring until smooth; after 10 minutes add Splenda and corn kernels; cook another 3 to 5 minutes.
- Spoon 1/4 of the cooked polenta onto the serving plate; top with 1/4 of chicken and chili mixture; garnish with additional cilantro (optional) or chopped scallions (optional).
- OR If you prefer polenta wedges, coat a 9 x 9-inch pan with cooking spray and pour polenta into pan; smooth with a spatula; let polenta to firm up, about 3 minutes; cut into quarters and remove from pan.
- Place polenta slices in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray; cook on both sides until crispy, about 2 to 4 minutes per side.
- Place polenta wedge onto the serving plate; top with 1/4 of chicken and chili mixture; garnish with additional cilantro (optional) or chopped scallions (optional).
