Ingredients:

5. Add the chicken, potato, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes, gently stirring now and again. Taste the chowder, adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper, then serve.

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup onion, minced

312 g baby spinach 11 oz

Add the garlic to the onions and sauté for another minute.

Add all of the spinach to the pan and cook until it is all wilted. This will take 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour the cream and milk into the pan, followed by the nutmeg, dried basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until it thickens.

Chef's Notes Cheesy Breakfast Polenta Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 cup polenta

2 cups whole milk

2 tbsp butter

1/2 tsp cajun seasoning optional

1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

salt and pepper to taste

2 eggs

2 tsp white vinegar
Directions:
Break the eggs into two ramekins and add the vinegar.

Fill a medium pot 3/4 full with water and put it on the stove on high heat.

Pour the milk into a second pot and put on the stove on medium-high heat.

Once the milk is just under a boil, whisk in the cornmeal and cajun seasoning.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk until the polenta is the texture of scrambled eggs. This will take about 10 minutes. I suggest setting a ten minutes timer. When there are four minutes left on the timer, put the eggs in the water.

Once the pot of water comes to a boil, turn the heat down to medium-high. Stir the water to make a funnel in the middle then add in the eggs one at a time. Cook the eggs for four minutes, then scoop them out of the water using a slotted spoon. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Take the polenta off the stove and whisk in the butter then the cheese. Divide the polenta among two bowls and top with the poached eggs. A few drops of hot sauce will really make the polenta pop.
