Author Notes: I had a version if this at a Tucson restaurant years ago. I created my own version when I couldn't find the original recipe. It is ideal if you make your own polenta, but works well with a prepackaged brand as well. It has a great mix of texture and it is fun to set on fire! - Jenispacepod

You know - you are totally right - I meant to say 4 oz prepared (I'll correct it now), so you're really only using 4 oz of water with maybe a half teaspoon of bouillon. Thanks for the catch!

Your recipe looks great except that 1 teaspoon of that Better Than Bouillon, at least the chicken, has 500 mg of sodium. Mathematically challenged, my mind reels at what 4 oz must contain. Again, your recipe caught my eye and looks so delicious that I doubt it needs all that added salt.Terrific photo - really captures the theme of the contest!
