Craving homestyle comfort food? You’ll whip up this delightfully satisfying dish in just 15 minutes! Rich, creamy polenta swirled with nutty Parmesan cheese serves as a base for juicy Italian-seasoned pork chops drizzled with herby basil pesto. A crisp kale, carrot, and dried cranberry salad tossed with tangy balsamic vinaigrette cuts through the richness for a beautifully balanced meal. Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
