For grilled polenta, in a medium saucepan, bring chicken stock and heavy cream to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, slowly whisk in the polenta and season with 1 teaspoon black pepper. Continue to whisk until the mixture starts to thicken, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add thyme, butter and Parmesan. Continue to stir until well combined and very thick. Pour into a greased 8-by-8-inch pan, smoothing out the top. Cool completely. Cut into desired shape. Grill cut polenta, about 3 minutes on each side.

Description
Peach and blueberry salsa ... we love it on grilled chicken. But we suspect there are pork chops, shrimp, and fish tacos out there calling its name.

Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. When working with hot peppers, wear protective gloves.
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper and cumin. Preheat grill for direct cooking to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 8 to 10 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Serve chicken topped with peach blueberry salsa and grilled polenta.
