Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. Slice lemon into wedges. Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk and salt and bring to the boil over high heat. • Reduce heat to medium and slowly whisk in polenta, then cook, stirring, until smooth and thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from the heat, add the butter and a good pinch of pepper and stir until melted.
• Return frying pan to high heat with the remaining butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook sliced mushrooms and bacon until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic, garlic & herb seasoning and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add cooking cream and the water and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Add cooked chicken, baby spinach leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir to combine and season to taste.
Little cooks: Help out with measuring the cream and water.
• Divide polenta between bowls. • Top with creamy chicken and mushroom stroganoff. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the rich, comforting taste, though some found it lacking depth or too smoky. Adding extra herbs or seasoning could boost flavour.
- Ease of prep: Simple to make, with guests impressed by the results. Some suggested making the polenta last to prevent it from becoming thick.
- Suggestions: Several preferred mashed potatoes or rice instead of polenta. Adding Parmesan to the polenta improved its flavour for some.
- Portions: Views varied; some found it generous with leftovers for lunch, while others felt it was skimpy, especially the chicken amount.
- Texture: The soft textures of chicken, mushrooms, and polenta left some wanting a crunchy element for contrast.
