Time 1h5m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric, divided
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
2 cups sprouted French green lentils, rinsed
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, minced
4 tomatoes, sliced 1/3-inch thick, or more to taste
¼ cup boiling water
1 cooked chicken breast, cubed
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and cubed
10 Kalamata olives, pitted and quartered
1 teaspoon macadamia nut oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place an 8x8-inch glass baking dish in the preheating oven to warm briefly. Remove and add coconut oil, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir in lentils.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lentils are warmed through, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and oregano over tomato slices. Remove lentils from the oven and layer tomato slices and accumulated juices on top. Pour boiling water over tomatoes.
  • Continue baking until tomatoes soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Toss remaining 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, chicken, avocado, Kalamata olives, and macadamia nut oil together in a small bowl. Remove lentils from the oven and spread chicken mixture on top.
  • Return to the oven and bake until flavors combine, about 10 minutes more.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. Overall, it was a good recipe but I would make some changes next time.
