This Balsamic Orange Glazed Chicken with Creamy Goat Cheese Polenta is a delicious and flavorful dish that combines the tanginess of balsamic vinegar with the sweetness of orange. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, orange juice, and spices, then grilled to perfection. The glaze is made by reducing the marinade with honey and orange zest, creating a sticky and caramelized coating. The creamy goat cheese polenta is the perfect accompaniment, providing a rich and creamy texture that complements the chicken beautifully.
