Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 10-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet with cooking spray.

Heat skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, chiles and corn; stir to combine. Stir in cumin; add salt and pepper to taste. Cook about 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat. Top with cheese. Arrange polenta slices in even layer on top.

Unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles. Place shortest side of each triangle on rim of skillet over cheese with dough point in center.
