Polenta Crumbed Chicken Dinner

Well it is that time of year when everyone is starting to get healthy or at least trying to :)
So here is a recipe I had a play with last night. It was very yummy :)

You will need
*Baked potatoes*
4 potatoes washed
YIAH HERB AND GARLIC DIP MIX
4 TBSP butter
Foil

*Potatoe topping*
1 brown onion
1 cup diced bacon
Light sour cream
Grated cheese

*Polenta Chicken*
2 chicken breasts cut into strips
Cup of low fat Greek yoghurt
1TBSP YIAH LOUISIANA CREOLE DIP MIX (I ground my dip mix up a little to help evenly distribute the flavour but you don't have to do this)
1 cup polenta
YIAH GARLIC EVOO

You will also need some steamed veg bags or you can cook your own :)

Step1- Preheat your oven to 220 degrees Celsius
Step 2- Place your potatoes on a piece of foil each and cut a cross on top.  Add a TBSP of butter and sprinkle with YIAH HERB AND GARLIC DIP MIX. Wrap your potatoes up and place on and tray and into the oven. Set timer for 35 minutes
Step 3- Mix your polenta and YIAH Dip Mix in a bowl.
Step 4- Coat you chicken strip in yoghurt, then roll in the polenta mix ensuring all is cover and place on a plate.
Step 5- Repeat step 4 for all of your chicken.
Step 6- Cover in Cling wrap and place in the fridge for 15minutes
Step 7- Get a large fry pan and add a "splash" of YIAH GARLIC EVOO.
Step 8- Cook your chicken in the pan. The polenta will go a golden brown once the side is cooked so flip the chicken.
Step 9- While chicken is cooking brown your onion and bacon bits in a small fry pan for your topping.
Step 10- The timer for your potatoes should be going off about now. So check they are cooked all the way through.
Step 11- Place your steam veg in the microwave for time specified on packet.
Step 12- It is time to plate up :) Remove your potatoes from foil and place on plates. Add sour cream, then bacon mix and then cheese on top. Add a few pieces of chicken and your steamed veg to the plate and you have a gorgeous meal :)

NOTE:
The Louisiana Creole is a spicy dip so if cooking for kids might be a better idea to use a YIAH DIP LIKE ; MEZE, CASABLANCA or SMOKEHOUSE BBQ

After finishing this recipe I thought it would be a great idea to add some YIAH HERB AND GARLIC DIP MIX to the yoghurt :)
