Preparation

Step 1

1. Add the chopped shallots and olive oil into a frying pan on medium high heat and cook until they begin to go slightly golden. Add the garlic and chicken and sear the outsides of the chicken. Now add the chicken stock and allow to simmer while adding the dried chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 mins on a medium heat until most of the water has evaporated. Stir in the yoghurt.

Step 2

2. Meanwhile boil the 6 cups of water in a separate pot and add the polenta, salt, pepper, tarragon and oilive oil on a medium low heat and stir to prevent sticking.After 5 minutes take off the heat and cover for 10 minutes.

Step 3

3. Plate up – place polenta on the bottom and the rocket and chicken on top. Plain yoghurt on the side is also a great addition!
