Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 medium sweet red pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
1 fresh hot green chili, seeded and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups lentils
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or broiler. Brush the chicken with one tablespoon of the oil and sear the chicken, turning it once, until it is brown and just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile heat the remaining oil in a large, heavy ovenproof casserole. Add the onion, sweet and hot peppers, garlic and ginger and saute until lightly browned. Stir in the cumin. Pare or cut the cooked chicken into chunks and add to the casserole.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Stir in the broth. Pick over the lentlis and add them. Bring to a simmer, cover and bake for about 30 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with yogurt on the side.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken that I used in this recipe and it turned out great. The curry spices really complemented the chicken.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken. I had some chicken breasts that I grilled a few days ago and they worked perfectly in this recipe. The lentils and curry spices add a lot of flavor.
