Italian Chicken with polenta-

Last week I’ve started a new series where I share 15  minute recipes.

Don’t you love to get your meal done in 15 minutes? Trust me, I know when those busy weeknights get crazy and you don’t even want to enter your kitchen. But if you can whip up something tasty in 15 minutes it will change the rest of your night and everyone will be happy!

 Last week I’ve shared a Pecan Crusted Tilapia recipe and today I am sharing this amazingly flavorful ITALIAN CHICKEN WITH POLENTA recipe.   I found this easy to prepare polenta in Trader Joe’s. Oh, how much I love Trader Joe’s…I only wish that they were closer.   It is a little drive to get there for me, so I only get to go so often.

Once a month we get a sitter and go to a date night with my hub and we always end up in our favorite Italian restaurant in town. There, they make polenta to perfection and they quickly made me to LOVE polenta. I love to fry it on a little bit of olive oil until it will be crispy a bit.

(Note: If you are in Richmond,VA be sure to stop and eat at Edo’s Squid, best food in town!!)

So as I had a package of polenta at home and looking into my refrigerator to see what I have handy, I came up with this tasty and quick chicken recipe.
