The Level 6 version

280 g poached chicken thigh, skin removed
240 ml thick smooth tomato sauce
180 g soft polenta
40 g finely grated cheese melted into sauce

Convert it

Poach chicken thigh until very tender. Remove skin, gristle, dry edges, and every trace of breading.
Cut the chicken to pieces no larger than 1.5 cm and coat it generously in thick smooth tomato sauce.
Serve with soft polenta and cheese melted smoothly into the sauce, without a chewy cheese crust.
Fork-pressure test the thickest chicken piece. It must squash completely and not spring back.

EquipmentCovered pan, fork for measuring and testing

SLP tipThe familiar tomato and cheese flavors work without the crisp coating that makes classic chicken parmesan unsuitable.

Before serving: run the fork pressure test on the finished plate. Recipes guide you to a texture. Only the test confirms it.
