Chicken and polenta traybake

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 4 - 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes, plus marinating time

Cooking Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 kg free-range chicken portions
2 -3 rosemary sprigs
steamed green beans, for serving

for the marinade, blend:

1 x 400 g can chopped tomatoes
1 orange, juiced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 T red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 t dried oregano
1/2 t brown sugar
1 t salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

for the polenta:

4 cups water
1 - 1 1/2 t salt
170 g polenta

Method

1. Marinate the chicken for a few hours, or overnight, turning once or twice.
2. To make the polenta, bring the water to the boil. Stir in the salt. Slowly whisk in the polenta until it thickens. Turn into an oiled baking dish just large enough to take the chicken.
3. Arrange the chicken on the polenta and pour over the marinade. Tuck in a few sprigs of rosemary. Bake at 200°C for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and nicely browned. Serve with the green beans.
