For the polenta, which you'll want to make just before serving to keep it creamy, grab a large pan and set it over medium-low heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then the garlic and onion.
Cook until they've softened.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring it to a simmer.
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the polenta continuously until all the liquid is absorbed and there are no clumps. Stir in the fresh parsley, grated cheese, and butter until everything is well combined and creamy.
