## Ingredients

- 2 containers bread crumbs
- 15 slices thin sliced chicken
- 1 bottle olive oil
- 1 cup onions
- 1 big old scoop garlic
- 2 pinches salt
- 1 large container marinara sauce
- 1 big handful fresh basil
- 1 container chicken stock
- 1 container polenta
- 1 container parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 container heavy whipping cream
- 1 container broccolini
- 1 slice mozzarella cheese

## Instructions

1. Place bread crumbs in a pan. Take a thin sliced chicken and cover it in breading, pressing it in. Do not use any binder (no eggs or milk).
2. Place breaded chicken on a hot griddle until cooked through and crispy.
3. In a large pot, add olive oil and onions. Fry until softened.
4. Add garlic and a pinch of salt, then stir and mix until well combined.
5. Add marinara sauce and stir to combine.
6. Add a big pinch of salt to the marinara sauce and stir.
7. Add fresh basil and stir to incorporate.
8. Use a stick blender to puree the marinara sauce, making it smooth and consistent.
9. Let the sauce cook for a second.
10. In a large pot, add chicken stock, let it come to a simmer, then add polenta. Keep stirring and adding more stock as needed to prevent it from getting too thick.
11. Let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until nice and tender.
12. Add parmesan cheese and parsley, stir until well incorporated.
13. Add heavy whipping cream to the polenta and stir to combine.
14. Let it finish cooking for a few more minutes and place it in a pan to keep warm.
15. Place polenta on plates. Top with chicken cutlets, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Grill broccolini and place it on the side as a veggie. Finish with a little more parmesan cheese.
