Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken with Creamy Polenta & Sautéed Green Beans

Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken with Creamy Polenta & Sautéed Green Beans

By Sasha Gordanier

Total: 1 hour
Main CourseDinner

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 whole lemon
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 cup polenta (cornmeal)
  • 2.5 cups milk
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
  • 250 grams green beans
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of one lemon, minced garlic from one clove, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken thighs. Place the lemon halves, rosemary, and thyme sprigs in the baking dish with the chicken.

3

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.

4

While the chicken is roasting, in a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.

5

Gradually whisk in the polenta until smooth. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes until the polenta is thickened and creamy.

6

Stir in the parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.

7

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the remaining garlic clove (minced) and green beans. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.

8

Serve the roasted chicken alongside creamy polenta and sautéed green beans. Garnish with additional lemon slices and herbs if desired.
