Polenta with Spinach Cheese and Tomato

Have you ever made a recipe and think to
yourself,it's good but it needs something.
This is just one of those type of recipes.
It's very creamy and tastes great but I feel
after many taste tests, it just needs something.
In this recipe the polenta is slowly cooked
with a home made chicken stock and butter,
adding some cooked spinach and grape tomatoes,
then stirring in some bacon and cream cheese.
Ended up serving this simply on iceberg lettuce.
It was absolutely five star delicious.


Ingredients:
2 cups chicken stock
Salt to taste
1/2 cup medium-grain yellow polenta
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups spinach, chopped and cooked
12 grape tomatoes, whole
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup cream cheese

Directions:
Heat chicken stock lightly seasoned with salt
to a boil over high heat, about 5 minutes.
Quickly whisk in the polenta until fully incorporated.
Lower the heat to a low simmer,
add the butter, spinach and tomatoes
and allow the polenta to cook,
stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
Finish by stirring in the bacon,
cream cheese, and salt to taste.
