STINKY POLENTA, ROAST CHICKEN, CRISPY KALE, RED WINE BALSAMIC DEMI

Steps:

• For the roast chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Put a cast-iron pan over high heat until hot. Coat the pan with olive oil, add the chicken skin-side down and cook until the skin is crispy, about 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet fitted with a rack. Roast until cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes depending on size.
• For the red wine balsamic demi: In a saucepan over high heat, add a little olive oil. Add the thyme, bay leaves, carrots, celery and onions and sweat the vegetables about 5 minutes. Deglaze with the red wine, then add the balsamic and dark chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Add the tomato paste and reduce to a simmer. Add the sugar and simmer to reduce the sauce to a glaze consistency, 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and reserve.
• For the stinky polenta: Bring the dark chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan. Using a whisk, slowly incorporate the polenta into the stock, stirring vigorously. When fully incorporated, lower the heat to simmer. Cook, stirring frequently to make sure the polenta doesn't burn, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the crispy kale: Pour enough canola oil into a large heavy-bottomed saucepan to come about a third of the way up. Heat the oil until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 325 degrees F.
• Add the julienned kale to the oil and fry about 2 minutes; the kale should still be very green and crisp, not brown at all. Drain on paper towels and set aside for garnish.
• To finish the polenta: Add the butter, Gorgonzola, Parmigiano-Reggiano, mascarpone and additional water or the chicken cooking juices if needed. Finish with the white truffle oil and add salt and pepper to taste.
• To plate, spoon about 3 tablespoons of the glaze into 5 wide bowls. Put some polenta on top. Slice each chicken breast and put on top of the polenta. Garnish with crispy kale and serve.

DEVILED CHICKEN WITH KALE AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 475 degrees F. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the chicken skin-side up; season with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. Arrange the sweet potatoes around the chicken; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the chicken and sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast until the chicken is lightly browned and the sweet potatoes are just tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the mustard, 1 tablespoon hot sauce and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder in a small bowl. Toss the panko, melted butter, remaining 1 teaspoon hot sauce and a pinch of salt in another small bowl.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the mustard mixture on top of each chicken breast. Top with the panko, lightly pressing to adhere. Move the chicken and sweet potatoes to one side of the pan. Mound the kale on the other side; toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F and the kale is crisp on top, about 15 minutes.
