Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I always find these are a real bargain, especially when you bat them out into little escalopes. I always keep a bit of a stockpile of these and duck under-fillets in the freezer so that I can rustle up a cheap and tasty light supper.
8 chicken under-fillets, lightly bashed out between some clingfilm
100ml extra virgin olive oil
20 black olives
A few sprigs of rosemary
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the polenta
750ml milk
1 clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
A pinch of nutmeg
75g quick-cooking polenta
100ml double cream
75g freshly grated parmesan
First, make the polenta. Bring the milk to the boil in a thick-bottomed pan, then add the garlic, bay leaf, salt and pepper and nutmeg.
Simmer for 5 minutes and then whisk in the polenta.
Cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring every so often so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Add the cream and parmesan and cook for a further 5 minutes. Cover with a lid or clingfilm to keep hot.
Heat half of the olive oil in a pan, remove the leaves from the rosemary, add to the f pan with the olives and remove from the heat. Heat a ribbed griddle pan until it is almost smoking and brush with a little olive oil, season the chicken fillets and grill briefly for 30-40 seconds on each side.
To serve, spoon the polenta on to warmed serving plates, arrange the chicken on top and spoon over the olives, rosemary and olive oil.
