Ingredients

1 cup polenta
4 cups water or chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup marinara sauce
2 cups cooked chicken breast, breaded and sliced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Polenta: In a large pot, bring water or chicken broth to a boil. Add salt and slowly whisk in the polenta. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 15-20 minutes).
Form the Crust: Spread the cooked polenta onto a greased pizza pan or baking sheet, shaping it into a round crust about 1/2 inch thick. Allow it to cool and set for about 10 minutes.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Add Toppings: Spread marinara sauce evenly over the polenta crust. Layer the sliced chicken on top, followed by mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
