1/2
6 1/2 ounce jar oil-packed dried tomatoes with Italian herbs
-
4
small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 to 1-1/4 lb.)
-
1
cup assorted olives, drained
-
1/2
cup dry white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
-
4
small bay leaves (optional)
-
1
cup cornmeal
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Drain tomatoes, reserving the oil. Season chicken with salt and black pepper. In 10-inch oven-going skillet heat all the reserved oil over medium-high. Cook chicken in hot oil 3 minutes each side or until browned; remove skillet from heat. Add tomatoes, olives, wine, and bay leaves. Transfer to oven. Bake, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 170 degrees F when inserted in chicken.
2. Meanwhile, for polenta, in large saucepan bring 3 cups water to boiling. In a bowl combine cornmeal, 1 cup cold water, and 1 tsp. salt; gradually stir into boiling water. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Reduce heat; stir occasionally. Remove and discard bay leaves. Serve chicken with polenta and olives. Makes 4 servings.

Everyone likes this dish and it's fast and easy. I dredged the chicken in flour before browning to make a nice crust and added a little butter and Parmesan (about 1 TBSP each) to the polenta and it was really delicious. We have made it several times and like experimenting with different olives.
