Chicken Puttanesca with Olives and Capers and Cheesy Polenta

Puttanesca is a dish invented in the Italian city of Naples in the mid-20th century and made typically with tomatoes, olives and capers. In our YPI version each bite of the tender chicken bursts with the vibrant, briny flavours of classic puttanesca sauce and the smooth, creamy polenta, infused with parmesan cheese, provides a comforting contrast to the zesty sauce. Enjoy!

Step 1

1 Prepare Ingredients

Grate zucchini. Pick parsley leaves, discarding stems, and chop. Cut olives in half. Boil a kettle for the polenta.

Step 2

2 Pan Fry Chicken

Pat dry chicken, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil. Rub the paprika spice mix into each chicken breast. Heat a large fry pan over a medium high heat. Add chicken breast to the pan and cook on each side for 2 minutes to form a golden crust.

Step 3

3 Make Puttanesca Sauce

Add diced tomatoes, zucchini, olives and stock concentrate to the pan with the chicken. Simmer on a medium heat for 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

4 Prepare Polenta

While the sauce is cooking, prepare polenta. In a pot, combine polenta with 1/2 cup milk and then add 1 cup of boiling water, bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, stirring regularly for 5 minutes. Polenta will start to thicken, pulling away from the side of the pot slightly as you stir. Season with salt and pepper and add butter and parmesan (to taste).

Step 5

5 Finish Puttanesca Sauce

Remove the chicken from the sauce and slice. To the sauce stir in spinach, capers and half the parsley. When the spinach has wilted remove the pan from the heat.

Step 6

6 You Plate It!

Divide the polenta between serving plates. Add sliced chicken and top with puttanesca sauce. Garnish with the remaining parsley. Enjoy!
