For the marinade, peel the garlic and chop very finely. Mix 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 level tablespoon paprika, garlic and 2-3 tablespoons olive oil. Wash the meat, dab dry and brush all around. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and fry the meat for 5-6 minutes on each side at medium heat.
Remove the meat from the pan, put the pan with frying fat aside. Place the meat on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 12 minutes. In the meantime, clean and wash the spring onions and cut them into fine rings.
Heat the frying fat in the pan. Add 2/3 of the spring onions, fry briefly, season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with 250 ml water. Stir in 3/4 of the ricotta. Bring to the boil, season again with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Bring the stock to the boil, stir in the polenta. Bring to the boil, simmer on low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring several times. Finally stir in butter and the rest of the ricotta.
Take the meat out of the oven and cut it up thinly. Distribute the polenta on plates, place a sliced chicken fillet on each plate, sprinkle with ricotta sauce, remaining spring onions and paprika.
