5.6: Chicken and Mushrooms with Polenta

 


Recipes I (attempted to) use: oven polenta with roasted mushrooms and thyme.

What actually happened: Having never eaten or bought polenta before, what I thought were tightly packed grains was in fact a bland, firm log of pre-cooked polenta. To make it creamy, I put it in a saucepan with some milk, butter, salt and pepper over heat and whisked it. Then I added some lemon juice. The mushrooms I roasted according to the recipe, and the chicken was just some tenderloins that I marinated in some oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and then cooked in a pan.

How it came out: Shockingly great. These flavors all go so well together. Cannot recommend enough, especially on a cold day; makes for really good comfort food.
