Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rub the boneless half chicken with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place it in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Cook the Onion Jus

    In a skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add any drippings from the chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Polenta

    In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 25 minutes or until thickened.

  5. 5

    Add Cream and Seasonings

    Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and chopped sage into the polenta. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the creamy polenta, top with the roasted chicken, drizzle with onion jus, and garnish with fresh arugula.
