  This recipe is so fantastically simple and until this I had never had polenta before. We have this at least twice a month now

  Lovely, dead simple & quick & super tasty. I was amazed how the flavours all seemed to mingle together - really good. I'll do it with potatoes next time I think

  This was a really delicious and easy meal. Will definitely make this again and again. The only changes I made to the recipe was to increase the cloves of garlic to 4 (sliced lengthways) and I finely chopped the rosemary leaves. Superb.

  Made this at the weekend, was really easy and very tasty. First time I had tried polenta and will definitely use it again.

  I just love this dish! Also sometimes when I want to just change it slightly: Stuff the chicken breasts with mascarpone, grana pandano or any other hard italian cheese and mozzarella OR Mascarpone, choice of your favourite blue cheese and mozzarrella. Then just cook as normal. Very quick and delicious I will also throw in some red onions to roast with the poltenta and tomatoes for more flavour

  This dish is great. I add subsitute thyme for the rosemary, add chorizo, chopped green pepper and some chopped chilli. Spicy but delicious. The chorizo gives the polenta a lovely colour and a bit of extra flavour, as it can be a little bland.

  Made this for a dinner party and it was hugely popular. Never knew polenta could be so tasty! Added one courgette and chopped red onion plus 4 cloves garlic and finely chopped rosemary and thyme (after having read all previous reviews). You could really add anything though - I'm thinking a leek instead of the onion could also be good. Doesn't need any salt added due to the parmesan

  I was surprised how well this turned out for me, considering how quick and easy it was to make. Very tasty. This was my first time cooking polenta, as far as I can remember, eating polenta - a great subsititute for potatoes.

  I think I needed a bigger roasting tin for this - the polenta ended up buried under the chicken and tomatoes, so it was soft and soggy rather than crispy. I found that the garlic got a touch 'caramelised', too, and would probably have been better tucked in rather than sitting on top. Having said that, this was tasty enough that I'll be trying it again, with a few of the variations other people have suggested.

  Not sure if I missed something with this but just found it really bland and not at all special. Perhaps will try again with some of the suggestions above (got this from the Good Food cookbook before looking on here) and add extra parmesan. Also used polenta that I made myself instead of ready bought - perhaps that would be better? Any ideas appreciated - thanks

  I make this using sweet potato instead of polenta. It's quick and easy on a midweek evening and even my family of fussy eaters enjoy it!
