Valentine’s Day Recipe from Cooking Light

This recipe blew my mind. It’s called Chicken with Prosciutto and Tomatoes Over Polenta. Cooking Light has designed the recipe to be perfect portions for two. Don’t have a sweety? Make your best friend dinner! He/she will thank you for not ordering pizza, that’s for sure. Here’s how you do it:
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) chicken thighs, skinned
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup chopped seeded peeled tomato
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 very thin slices prosciutto or ham, cut into thin strips (about 1/4 cup)
- Sage sprigs (optional)
Directions
Sprinkle the chicken with sage, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes on each side. Add wine; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 180°.
Place the cornmeal and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a 1-quart casserole. Gradually add water, stirring until blended. Cover. Microwave at high 12 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
Remove chicken from pan. Add tomato to pan; cook 1 minute. Stir in juice and prosciutto. Spoon polenta onto plates, and top with chicken. Serve with the sauce. Garnish with sage sprigs, if desired.
