Instructions
To make the polenta, heat the water (you can use chicken broth or stock too, for more flavor) in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk the polenta into the liquid and continue stirring until the polenta starts simmering.
Reduce the heat then cover and allow to gently simmer for 20 minutes until the polenta has cooked.
Stir in the cream, butter, Parmesan cheese and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Cover with a lid and allow to steam for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced rosemary and garlic in a small bowl then season with salt and pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels then place in a baking dish.
Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper then pour over the rosemary mixture.
Add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary then place in the oven and allow to roast for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the chicken over the polenta and spoon over some of the pan sauce from the chicken.
