In a large pot, bring water to a boil, polenta and cook over low heat until polenta is thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese and season with salt. Pour hot polenta into a baking dish cover and let stand until firm, about 25 minutes. In the meantime, combine chili, beans, corn, green chilies, and garlic in a separate pot. Cook over medium-high heat until warmed through, about 8-10 minutes. When polenta is set cut it into 12 squares (depending on size of your baking dish). Brush with olive oil and grill over medium-high heat until crisp and lightly charred, 5 minutes per side. Spoon over hot chili and serve. Makes 12 servings.
