| Cilantro and Lime Dressed Salad with Polenta Croutons |
If you are like me, there are nights when you want a wonderfully delicious dinner, but don't want to slave away in the kitchen for hours. This simple meal takes care of that by using store cooked chicken and bagged salad as the base for a healthy homemade meal you can serve up as your own. Rotisserie chickens are a quick, convenient and inexpensive way to add quality protein to your diet without a lot of extra work. I pulled apart the chicken earlier in the day and while the polenta was broiling in the oven, quickly reheated the chicken on the stove with some lemon juice, so that every bite tasted as if the chicken had been marinating for hours. Obviously a simply dressed salad with fresh organic vegetables is a fantastic base for any nutritious meal, but sometimes you need a little more than vegetables and protein. That is where the organic polenta comes in. A perfect, gluten free source of carbs, the polenta roasts up into crunchy and chewy croutons unlike any you have ever tasted before. My son and my husband couldn't get enough of them and I cannot wait to try them again with all sorts of other dishes. So get cooking!
