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.

[email protected]I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great! The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the polenta is creamy and cheesy. I like to add some sautéed mushrooms and onions to the dish for a more robust flavor.
