Chicken with Prosciutto and Tomatoes Over Polenta

Ingredients

• 
  

4 (6-ounce) chicken thighs, skinned

1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage

1/4 teaspoon salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons olive oil

1/2 cup dry white wine

2/3 cup yellow cornmeal

2 cups water

1 cup chopped seeded peeled tomato

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

2 very thin slices prosciutto or ham, cut into thin strips (about 1/4 cup)

Sage sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Sprinkle the chicken with sage, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes on each side. Add wine; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 180°.

Place the cornmeal and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a 1-quart casserole. Gradually add water, stirring until blended. Cover. Microwave at high 12 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes.

Remove chicken from pan. Add tomato to pan; cook 1 minute. Stir in juice and prosciutto. Spoon polenta onto plates, and top with chicken. Serve with the sauce. Garnish with sage sprigs, if desired
