Grilled Chicken with Creamy Polenta and a Balsamic Drizzle
 
In summer, I love any and everything on the grill and what better than a juicy, overnight marinated chicken served over a creamy polenta. To break up the richness of this dish, a drizzle of high quality Balsamic Vinegar of Modena makes this chicken entree shine. A quality balsamic vinegar is thick, syrup-like and naturally sweet and tart. Regular balsamic vinegar should not be used for this dish. If you do not have access to a BBQ use a cast iron grill pan. I love using my cast iron pan, especially through the winter months. It gives such a similar flavor to the BBQ.
 
YIELD: 4 SERVINGS                                                              PREP TIME: 10 MIN
COOK TIME: 1 HOUR
 
Ingredients:

Chicken Marinade
4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 Tablespoons of white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1 Teaspoon of dried oregano
1 Teaspoon of dried rosemary
1 Teaspoon of dried thyme
2 Tablespoons of Dijon Mustard
1 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon of Onion Powder
¼ Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
 
Polenta
5 Cups of Chicken Stock or Water
1 Cup of Cornmeal / Polenta
Salt
2 Tablespoons butter
½ Cup of grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
 
Directions:
  1. Mix the marinade together in a container and add the chicken. Mix well, ensuring that the marinade has been evenly distributed among the chicken. Cover and let marinade in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Add the stock to a large pot and bring to a boil.
  3. Pour the polenta into the stock and stir to combine.
  4. Let the polenta boil for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and continue to stir for an additional 35-40 minutes.
  6. Add additional stock or water if the polenta is too thick.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and Parmigiano cheese.  
  8. While the polenta is cooking, baste the grill or cast iron grill pan with olive oil and heat to medium-high.
  9. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side and cooked through.
  10. Remove chicken from heat and let stand.
  11. Place a scoop of the polenta on each plate and serve immediately with chicken and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar.
 
Buon Appetito!

The first word that came out of my mouth is wow. When I first saw the picture of the food, I knew already that it was really delicious and mouth watering. My dad loves to grill, especially when there is a special occasion in our family. I think this is so easy to make, by the way. I will definitely share this to my dad and I will ask him to make this one for us too. My relatives will surely love to eat this food. Thanks for this anyway.

Grilling chicken is one of the easiest way to cook them. The beauty of grilling is that it allows us to cook our food with minimal effort. I am not saying this to demean the act of cooking, rather, I want people to acknowledge the beauty of its simplicity. Every week, my family and I would spend our Sunday grilling meat in the backyard. We spend a lot of money choosing both the perfect meat and the perfect spices for it.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment?s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

Thank you for posting this very informative article. I have been trying to determine when large, flat concrete gravestones were first used in New Orleans cemeteries. I have found two for 1905 burials but I don't know if the stones were laid at the time of burial. They are slab-like with small marble name plaques attached. Have you run across any similar gravestones in your New Orleans research?

Why I don't interact with ANYONE on Facebook. Seriously. The egomania in the admins of groups is rampant. I don't have the energy for it. I'm surprised you weren't more upset. Peace to you. I'm grateful Steve and Amy were able to help your family find safety and harmony again.
