Steps:
- Warm the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
- Heat the olive oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the butter has melted, about 1 minute.
- Add the rice and toast, stirring only once, until it smells nutty and starts to turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Ladle one cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center).
- Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. (You may have a little stock left over. If so, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) If you prefer your risotto on the saucier side, add more stock 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl; mix in shrimp and prosciutto.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Brush olive oil over chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 5 minutes per side. Cool briefly before slicing into strips. Add to the penne mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Prepare the sauce by melting butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic, cover, and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in Marsala wine and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, milk, chicken broth, cornstarch, mustard, rosemary, thyme, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
- Pour sauce over the penne mixture and mix well. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and paprika over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the top slightly browns, 10 to 12 minutes.

THE BEST ROASTED CHICKEN
This is the best chicken I have ever made. My husband liked this so much that, because I had leftover potatoes, gravy, and cornbread stuffing, I had to make another chicken.

CHICKEN RUSTICA OVER POLENTA
I started with a recipe for Chicken Cacciatore and made several modifications to include polenta and cannellini beans - both hot trends in Italian cooking. The juicy chicken thighs simmer in a tomato sauce, and are then spooned over creamy polenta for a robust and flavorful meal.

Steps:
- Instructions: Brown bacon in large deep pan. Remove bacon, leaving 1-2 T. drippings in pan.
- Dust chicken pieces with flour, salt and pepper. Brown chicken pieces 4 minutes each side in bacon fat; remove to platter when browned both sides.
- Make sauce: Heat oil, add chopped onion; sauté over low heat 6-8 minutes. Add garlic, sauté 2 more minutes.
- Add all other sauce ingredients and mix. Add bacon and browned chicken pieces; gently simmer 30 minutes.
- Add drained beans and simmer 10 more minutes. During this last 10 minutes, make polenta.
- Polenta: combine water and salt in a large glass microwave-safe bowl; whisk in cornmeal. Cover and microwave on HIGH 4 minutes; stir. Uncover and microwave 2 minutes; stir. Microwave 2 more minutes; stir in Parmesan cheese; sprinkle with parsley.
- To serve, spoon polenta in a bowl, then top with chicken and plenty of the chunky sauce. Garnish with parsley.
Tips:
- Use a Dutch oven or large pot: This will ensure that the chicken has enough room to brown and cook evenly.
- Sear the chicken in batches: This will help to prevent the chicken from overcrowding the pot and steaming instead of browning.
- Don't be afraid to let the chicken brown: A good sear will give the chicken a delicious flavor and help to develop the fond, which is the flavorful brown bits that stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Add the vegetables and cook until softened: This will help to add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Add the wine and cook until it has reduced by half: This will help to deglaze the pot and add a rich flavor to the sauce.
- Add the tomatoes, broth, and herbs: Bring to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken rustico is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful vegetables, and rich sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes to soak up all of the delicious sauce.
