Chicken and Roast Veggie Stew over Polenta

This dish calls for sage-roasted vegetables, but you can also use your favorite roasted vegetable mix from our prepared foods department.

Ingredients

1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 rotisserie chicken
4 cups sage-roasted vegetables, large pieces chopped
1 tube (1 pound) pre-cooked polenta, cut into 12 slices
Grated Parmesan Cheese

Technique

In a large saucepan, stir together tomatoes, broth, vinegar, garlic, pepper flakes and salt. Simmer 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, remove wings and drumsticks from chicken and set aside for lunch. Discard skin; pull meat from breast and thighs and chop it. Add to pan along with roasted vegetables. Stir and cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.

Brown polenta slices in an oiled skillet or microwave until heated through and soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Place 3 slices on each plate, top with chicken stew, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Buon appetito!

Vegetarian Tacos

These turned out yum!

Ingredients
1 package small corn tortillas
1 package Morning Star Crumbles
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 avacado sliced
1 can vegetarian re-fried beans
1 cup shredded cheese

Technique

I like to let the MS crumbles defrost a little before I heat them up with the taco seasoning.  In a small pan heat the beans.  After adding water to the mix according to package directions, heat the seasoning thru with the crumbles, in a saute pan.  Create your perfect taco and enjoy!  Buon appetito!
