A delightful dish combining tender chicken with crispy polenta squares, perfect for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Slice the pre-cooked polenta into even squares or rounds.
Chill the polenta in the fridge beforehand to make slicing easier and to help it hold its shape during frying.
Combine the chicken, soy sauce, honey, cinnamon, and chili powder in a bowl. Let it marinate while preparing other components.
For best flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, but longer if you have time.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the onions until caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Add a pinch of salt to the onions to help them release their natural sugars and caramelize faster.
In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the polenta squares until golden and crispy on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure the polenta crisps up nicely.
Add the marinated chicken and its marinade to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked.
Ensure the chicken is cooked through by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken and onions over the crispy polenta squares. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
For a fresh touch, sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over the dish before serving.
