Ingredients
- 2 cup polenta
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 2 ears sweet corn (charred, grilled or even left raw, kernels removed from the cob)
- kosher salt
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast or tenders
- 1 cup BBQ sauce + more for serving
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 peaches (sliced (left raw or grilled))
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- handful fresh cilantro

Steps
-
Bring 3 cups water and 3 cups milk to a low boil in a large size pot. Whisk in the polenta and cook 15-20 minutes until thickened. Stir in the butter and cheddar cheese until melted. Add the corn and season with salt + pepper.

Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
-
In a large gallon size zip-top bag or glass bowl, combine the chicken, BBQ sauce and honey and toss well to coat.
-
Grill the chicken, brushing with any leftover BBQ sauce for 3-4 minutes per side, gently flipping 2-3 times until chicken is cooked through and has light char marks. You can also use a grill pan or skillet. Remove and let rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.*
