Instructions
  1. Preparation:
    Heat 1 tsp. Garlic olive oil in a large saucepan or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add jar of sauce, garlic cloves, and carrots, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
  2. While chicken is cooking, bring water to a boil for polenta. Cook polenta, according to package instructions. Season to taste, with salt and pepper and a drizzle of The Ancient Olive Garlic Olive Oil.
  3. Remove chicken from sauce, and shred, using two forks. Return to sauce. Add spinach, cover, and allow to wilt (2-3 minutes). Stir in spinach, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Dollop polenta in a bowl and top with chicken mixture. Top with chopped cilantro, if you like.
  5. Enjoy!
