You guys, yesterday was Fat Tuesday.
How did I miss this? I really need to get my head out of the food blog world and into real life a little.
Is it weird that most of (ok, all of) my friends are virtual?
Don’t answer that.
You would think since I write a food blog I would have had some huge Fat Tuesday feast planned. Maybe something like gumbo or Cajun Shrimp Tacos. Then top the night off with some fresh homemade Beignets.
Yeah, that would only happen in my dreams. I wish I was that organized.
Actually, you want to know something?
I used to be a really organized person. Not even five months ago, I was a well planned, well organized, albeit crazy women. That all changed when my life became consumed by this here blog. It just kind of took over, in a good way. Maybe? Yes, In a good way!
Anyway, back to Fat Tuesday. We had nothing Cajun, nothing with seafood and honestly nothing all that great. Tuesday’s recipe was a failure that I just spent way too long trying to miraculously fix. Ugh, I hate when this happens. It does not happen too often, but when It does it pretty my just stinks.
Literally.
Oh, and there was definitely not Beignets. BUMMER.
Now, that I have rambled on, let’s talk about what I really wanted to tell you guys about.
This lovely chicken. Does “lovely” make me sound older?
This is what I like to call a winner, winner chicken diner. It’s pretty quick, pretty easy and pretty freakin good. Seared chicken with a tangy, but slightly sweet Glazed Balsamic Vinegar Orange sauce with creamy goat cheese polenta. The sauce for this chicken is so good. It is a combo of balsamic reduction (which by itself is lick the spoon clean good) and a sticky orange sauce. It pairs perfectly with Creamy Goat Cheese Polenta that you could honestly just eat bowl after bowl of.

This was a simple and delicious sauce. I will definitely make it again.
Hi Carl,
Happy Friday!! I love to hear that this recipe was a winner, thanks so much for giving it a try!! xTieghan
If I use a polenta roll do I need to add the water, etc.?
Yup, you need to add liquid to make it soft. Let me know if you have questions. Hope you love this!
I made this for my parents tonight for dinner and it was AMAZING! So delicious, easy to make, and very fast too. They both loved it and we are very excited for leftovers tomorrow–though we will have to make more polenta since we did not leave any behind! Definitely saving this one to make again and again. Thanks for a great recipe!
So glad you like it!
