Ingredients

Creamy Polenta:

Method

In large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tsp of the oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, about 8 minutes. Transfer to plate.

In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.

Stir in broth, strained tomatoes, beans, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and chicken and any accumulated juices; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in parsley.

Creamy Polenta: Meanwhile, in large saucepan, bring 6 cups water to boil. Whisk in cornmeal, salt and pepper; simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until thick enough to mound on spoon, about 10 minutes. Stir in butter.
