Italian food is in my blood. A huge part of my love for cooking stems from cooking with my grandparents and mom. There are many aromas, ingredients and dishes that bring back the most wonderful memories to me. While there is no duplicating my grandmas cooking {why is it that even when they tell you what to do it never tastes the same???}, I do love putting my own twists on dishes. Chicken bolognese is not a dish my grandmother would make but I love using chicken in place of beef. So came this dish, Chicken Bolognese over Creamy Polenta.
The sauce is a bit chunky, a lot hearty and delicious! Carrots, celery, onions, garlic, tomato, lean chicken and fresh basil. Simmer away for a few hours and let those flavors develop. The polenta, oh that polenta, its such a simple thing but I absolutely LOVE it!! It literally takes 5 minutes to cook, is so creamy and so good! Chicken broth, salt, pepper, butter and grated pecorino. The bolognese over the polenta…. well lets just say I ate two bowls!
