My family lovingly calls this dish "Mexican slop". I found this recipe online awhile back, and it originally included 1 lb ground beef instead of the chicken. I've never tried it with beef, but I'm sure it would taste good that way too. Great served with some sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

I made this casserole for my family last night and it was a hit! Everyone loved it, even my picky kids. The polenta was creamy and cheesy, and the black beans and corn added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch. I will definitely be making this again
