Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 cup of polenta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes, or until the polenta is creamy and thick. Stir in the butter, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • To serve, spoon the creamy polenta onto plates, top with the cooked chicken breasts, and spoon the creamy garlic parmesan sauce over the chicken. Serve with the roasted vegetables on the side.
