I have a recipe for making polenta in the microwave, that is super easy and tasty. If you'd like it, email me, and I will reply. [It is from a cookbook, so I can't post it]
Preheat oven to 400F.
Using whatever pie tin or round casserole you have, scoop the polenta and drop it into the baking pan. Spread it across the bottom and up the sides. Bake in oven for 20 minutes or until crust develops a golden brown color and is crisp.
Reduce heat to 375F.
In a small frying pan, saute the onion in water or chicken broth until opaque. Layer the onion, cheese, broccoli, and chicken into the baking dish. In a mixing bowl, scramble 3 eggs with the milk and spices and pour over the chicken mixture. Bake in a 375F oven for 30-40 minutes or until set, with the top a light golden brown.
