Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes from a jar
2 garlic cloves, quartered
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 (6-ounce) chicken breasts, with wing bone, skin on
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup freshly shredded Cheddar
3 tablespoons chopped scallions
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chicken with sun-dried tomato pesto crust:
  • For the creamy polenta:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the pesto crust:
  • Blend sun-dried tomatoes, garlic cloves and basil leaves in a food processor. Stir in Parmesan and add salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside briefly. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breast with pepper only. (The Parmesan in the pesto will provide salt.) Brown both sides of chicken, beginning with skin side first. Coat chicken with pesto and roast in oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until fork tender.
  • For the polenta:
  • Combine chicken stock and cream in a large heavy saucepan. Heat to a gentle boil over medium heat, being careful not to burn. While whisking constantly, gradually add the cornmeal in a thin stream. Once cornmeal is incorporated, keep heat low and continue to whisk until mixture is slightly thickened and creamy. Stir in butter and Cheddar and allow cheese to melt. Season with pepper, (and salt if needed). Spoon polenta onto serving plate, top with chicken breast and garnish with chopped scallions.

PAN-FRIED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH POLENTA AND SALSA



Pan-Fried Chicken Breasts With Polenta and Salsa image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, project

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups instant polenta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 small ripe avocados, skinned and pitted
4 tablespoons lime juice
1 small red onion, finely diced
2 jalapeno or serrano chilies, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves plus 4 coriander sprigs
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large chicken breasts, halved
8 ripe plum tomatoes
4 scallions, finely chopped
2 large heads arugula

Steps:

  • Bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Carefully whisk in the polenta to prevent lumps from forming. Reduce the heat, and continuously stir the mixture until it thickens (just a couple of minutes). Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and spread evenly with a spatula. Allow to cool. Refrigerate, if making ahead.
  • For the guacamole, puree the avocados with the lime juice in a food processor. Stir in the onion, a quarter to a half of the minced chilies and the coriander leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, if making ahead.
  • When ready to serve, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick pan. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and brown over high heat. Turn, and brown on the other side. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and cook the chicken until it is done, a total of about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa. Trim the tomatoes, quarter them and place in the food processor along with the coriander sprigs, scallions and the remaining minced chilies (or less to taste). Process until coarse. Season with salt and pepper.
  • When ready to brown the polenta, preheat the broiler. Turn out the polenta from its dish onto an oiled baking sheet, and place under the hot broiler until the surface begins to puff and brown, 3 to 5 minutes. The polenta can broil while chicken is cooking.
  • In center of a plate, place a pool of salsa. Place the polenta on top of the salsa. Arrange a few arugula leaves on the side; place a piece of chicken on the arugula, and top the chicken with guacamole.
