Chef Jeff Mauro's BBQ Chicken with Cheesy Polenta



Chef Jeff Mauro is opening his first EVER restaurant, Pork & Mindy’s, which is located in the Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhood, this December. I can’t wait, as his delicious eats will be just steps away from my door!!! Therefore, I’ve teamed up with Jeff to make one of his favorite recipes in A Girl and Her Food’s kitchen using Pork & Mindy’s line of sauces. The BBQ chicken with cheesy polenta is quick, easy and a comforting dish for a weeknight dinner or Sunday supper, it may come in handy during this weekend's snow storm! 








BBQ Chicken with Cheesy Polenta

Ingredients

4 bone-in chicken thigh and leg or chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 thick cut slices pancetta or bacon, chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped 1 ½ cup Pork & Mindy’s sweet sauce
2 ½ cups chicken stock
1 ½ cups milk
  1 cup quick cooking polenta
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  Chopped fresh basil leaves for garnish


preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper, poultry seasoning, and Italian seasoning.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet and brown the chicken a few minutes on each side to put some of its flavor and drippings into the pan, then transfer to oven and roast 15 minutes more or until juices run clear. Meanwhile, add 1 more tablespoon olive oil to the pan and cook pancetta or bacon, if using, until crisp.
Add onions, cook 5 minutes then add the Pork & Mindy’s sweet sauce and ½ cup chicken stock, reduce heat to low and let sauce simmer 5 minutes more. Bring remaining 1½  cups stock and milk to a boil, whisk in polenta and season with salt and pepper. Whisk polenta 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens, stir in butter and cheese, and remove from heat.

Remove chicken from oven and turn in barbecue sauce. Fill shallow bowls with polenta Top with chicken, spoon extra sauce over chicken and garnish with some chopped basil leaves. Enjoy!

  1. Kasauli India, being a newly found tourist destination hasn't seen much resorts, hotels, accommodations, guesthouse, home-stays yet.

    We have tried our best to present a few value for money resorts and hotels which might be of some help to the tourists who plan to visit this small beautiful hill station.

    We haven't classified the resorts and hotels by star rating, as in 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels, since in Himachal, star rating is just a virtual perception, and most of the Resorts near Delhi are rating them as per their own discretion and convenience.

  4. I have visited Chef Jeff Mauro's restaurant and enjoyed delicious food, including the BBQ Chicken with Cheesy Polenta. The service was amazing, and the way he presented the food was excellent. I didn't know the recipe for this. Thanks to you for sharing this. I have planned a party for our graduation with friends. Although we have taken the masters dissertation help in completing the dissertation, it is worth it. As the restaurant is far from our location, we will try this at home for party night dinner.

  5. I have eaten delicious food, including BBQ Chicken with Cheesy Polenta, at Chef Jeff Mauro's restaurant. The way he presented the food was excellent, and the service was amazing. I didn't know how to make this. I appreciate you sharing this. I have planned a party with friends for our graduation. Even though we sought a literature review writing service, the effort was well worth it. We will try this at home for a party night dinner because the restaurant is far from where we are.
