Ingredients
- 4 med. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Quick cooking polenta
- 1/2 tsp. Seasoned salt
- 1/4 tsp. Pepper
- 1 Tbsp. Butter
- 2 cups Sargento® Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 3 cups Reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup Prepared barbecue sauce
- 2 ea. Green onions, thinly sliced
Directions
Pre-heat a large, heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with seasoning. Add chicken breasts to pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Flip chicken with tongs, cover pan and cook an additional 5-6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest while preparing polenta. Add chicken broth to pan and scrape bottom with a flat spatula to remove brown bits from pan. Stir in polenta and cheese. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often until polenta is thick and creamy. Transfer cooked chicken back to pan over polenta. Spoon sauce over chicken and polenta. Sprinkle cheese over sauce. Cover pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until cheese has melted. Sprinkle green onions on top and serve. Note: If quick cooking polenta is not available, substitute yellow cornmeal and reduce amount to 3/4 cup. Cook polenta for 15-20 minutes instead of 10.
