For an even richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. Feel free to experiment with different cheese combinations, such as Gruyere and Fontina. If the polenta becomes too thick, add a splash more milk or broth to reach your desired consistency. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a pop of color and freshness. If you do not have a rice cooker, you can also make it in a pot with similar cooking times on the stovetop.
