Polenta Texture
For a creamy polenta, use a coarse ground cornmeal and cook it slowly, stirring frequently to prevent lumps. Adding butter and cheese at the end enriches the flavor and texture.
Chicken Browning
Browning the chicken before adding it to the stew enhances its flavor. Sear the chicken pieces in a hot pan with oil until golden brown on all sides.
Stew Consistency
Allow the chicken stew to simmer slowly for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little chicken broth or water.
Spice Adjustment
Adjust the spices to your personal preference. Common Brazilian spices used include cumin, paprika, oregano and a bit of chili for heat.
