Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Using your fingers, roughly break up the polenta into small chunks and scatter in the bottom of a small roasting tin. Tip in the parmesan and mix. Sit the chicken breasts, cherry tomatoes, rosemary and garlic on top of the polenta, drizzle with olive oil, then season to taste.

  • step 2

    Roast for 25 mins until the chicken skin is crisp and golden, and the polenta and cheese are turning crusty around the edges. Serve with a green salad.

We really enjoyed this, after reading the comments I added a red pepper and a red onion, more parmesan, not that I actually weighed it, and used chicken thighs as we all prefer the taste to breast meat. I also used fresh basil as I had some which needed using instead of rosemary...next time I'll…

I use a variation of this recipe often. Since I can't get skin-on boneless chicken (only bone-in) where I live, I get around it with skinless boneless breasts wrapped in prosciutto (or sometimes bacon, or pancetta).
