INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 tsp Ground Coffee
1 tsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1/4 cup Dry Polenta (Cornmeal)
1 cup Water
1 cup Spinach (raw)
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season on both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the ground coffee and unsweetened cocoa powder. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken breast.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a rich crust forms. Then lower the heat, cover, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
Meanwhile, bring 1 cup of water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan. Slowly whisk in the dry polenta, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until thickened and creamy. Season lightly with a pinch of salt.
For the sautéed greens, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted but still vibrant.
Plate a serving of creamy polenta, top with the coffee-cocoa rubbed chicken, and add a side of sautéed greens. Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of bold and delicate flavors.
