I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. The chicken was tough and the polenta was clumpy. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was good. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the polenta was creamy and cheesy. I think I'll try making it again with less salt next time.
