Step 1

Chop the onion and place it in a cooking pan that is on medium heat. Sprinkle salt and add the chicken along with a few drops of water and cover. Cook for about 10 min, occasionally stirring gently. Do not allow it to burn as this will not look good- it is meant to be a nice white sauce, and burning it will change its color. Add a bit of water from time to time if needed or even a splash of white wine for that extra flavor!

Step 2

Slice the mushrooms and add to the chicken and onion. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring a couple of times.

Step 3

Stir in the crème fraîche and the double cream and let cook (uncovered) for a further 7-10 min over medium/low heat. Add the chopped or minced garlic 2-3 minutes before finishing with the cooking.

Step 4

While the chicken cooks, place a pot with the water for the polenta on medium/high heat, add the salt, and allow to boil.

Step 5

When the water for the polenta is boiling, add the chopped thyme or rosemary and then the polenta flour while stirring gently until it all homogenizes. Continue to stir for about 2 minutes and then allow to cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat this 3 times and then take it out onto a plate.

Step 6

Serve a spoonful or two of polenta along with 3-4 spoonfuls of creamy sauce.
