- Place the chicken on top of the polenta slices.
- Pour the canned corn over the chicken and spread evenly in the dish.
- Add mushrooms or other veggies (broccoli florets or peas may be interesting) and spread evenly.
- Pour the cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup into a large bowl and add water as directed on the can. Mix and pour over the chicken, add the half and half.
- Add some garlic powder on top of the mixture, as well as the salt & pepper and paprika for some color and a little bit of kick.
- Put the dish in the oven and set your timer for 45 minutes.
- Once the 45 minutes has elapsed, pull the dish out of the oven (be careful, it's hot and liquidy).
- Grab several handfuls of cheese and sprinkle over the chicken.
- Return the dish to the oven for another 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
