Equipment

1 square baking tin 20x20cm
1 baking tray
baking paper

Ingredients

1 cup polenta
3 ½ cups chicken stock
1 tsp thyme dried
1 tablespoon oregano dried
⅓ cup parmesan freshly grated
3 tablespoon salted butter
olive oil spray

Instructions

Add the chicken stock to a pot over medium/high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer then whisk in the polenta.
After 2 - 3 minutes the polenta will begin to thicken up. Add the oregano, thyme, butter and parmesan and continue whisking to combine until polenta is nice and thick.
Line a baking tin with baking paper and pour the polenta into the tin. Use a bench scraper or a similar tool to evenly flatten out the polenta. Place the polenta in the fridge to set for 2-3 hours.
Preheat oven to 200C fan forced.
The polenta should now be quite solid. Carefully transfer it to a board and cut into 16 equal chips.
Line a small tray with baking paper and transfer the polenta chops to the baking tray. Spray with olive oil spray and then bake in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes until they just start to crisp up around the edges.
Serve warm with an extra sprinkle of parmesan and enjoy!

Notes

Even Spreading: When spreading the polenta in the baking tin, use a bench scraper or the back of a spoon to ensure an even thickness. This helps the chips cook uniformly and achieve the perfect crispness.
Proper Chilling: Ensure the polenta is fully set and firm before cutting into chips. This makes it easier to cut and helps maintain the shape during baking.
