Very Good	We really liked this recipe, thought the cinnamon was a great accent, I did double most of the spice amounts as we like things loaded with flavour. thanks for the recipe! May need to thin it down a bit to reheat. Very filling.	Submitted by: TTSHOLLAND1 (1/20/09)

Incredible!	Tasted great. It was my first time cooking lentils and the colour was a little offputting - sludge grey/green so next time I'll use red lentils.	Submitted by: PT1234 (7/20/08)

Very Good	I also doubled the spices, and I added cooked chicken just before serving (I had some chicken leftovers, I added 12 ounces). I used a bag of baby carrots. It's delicious!	Submitted by: KATETACK (6/16/09)

Good	Not great and not bad. I won't make it again as most in my family didn't like it. It's not offensive; just not to our tastes.	Submitted by: LINKS2ME (2/19/09)

Very Good	I used more chicken broth than called for to get a soup, and it was even better the next day. Thanks!	Submitted by: DRKATE (12/9/08)

Very Good	This was the first time I ever tried lentils and I really liked this recipe. I could not really taste the cinnamon, but added extra cayenne, turmeric and some curry powder.	Submitted by: BECCA0914 (6/17/08)

	Can't wait to try this. Lentils are delicious and SO good for you. Cinnamon helps to lower triglycerides as well. Garlic is good for you too. A great combo meal.	Submitted by: B-NANA (6/11/08)

Very Good	I adapted it for the stove top. Once the water boiled it took about 30 minutes. Next time, I would add everything but chicken cook 10 minutes then add the chicken (it was a little over done.) Very quick and tasty.	Submitted by: JONE7007 (5/2/08)

Incredible!	I loved this! I left out the cinnamon (not a big fan) and added some onion slices. This was my first time eating/cooking lentils and now I'm hooked! Great recipe!	Submitted by: NONISPARKS (3/18/08)

Very Good	It was pretty good, I had to cook an hour longer on high or else it would have been to soupy. Overall a good, easy dish.	Submitted by: SALASALABEY (2/23/08)

Incredible!	This was an awesome recipe! I made it for my boyfriend last night and he loved it. I made some changes though. I put in some onions and frozen veggies along with the carrots. I also put in a little tabasco, a lot of curry powder & more of the cayanne. We ate it over brown rice. It was fantastic!	Submitted by: STRNGCHZ24 (12/20/07)

Very Good	Very good! We added a little extra cayanne pepper because my husband likes it a little hotter. Excellent for leftovers -- it's even better the next day!	Submitted by: ELLAMENNO (12/8/07)

Very Good	My husband and all 4 kids loved this. I did add some extra spices but I didn't care for the cinnamon in it myself so next time I'll leave that out. It was very flavorful though. I have never had lentils until tonight and I will definitely be trying this again.	Submitted by: FARLEYDTR (8/6/07)

Incredible!	Really lovely dish. I didn't have all the spices I needed, so I used a few different spices. It didn't matter... the amazing thing about it was how all the flavours blended together and how after such a long cook, the chicken just melts in your mouth. Will make it again and again and again!

Incredible!	This dish was fantastic! My husband and I both enjoyed it. It's very hearty and filling, wonderfully flavored, and one would never guess it was -gasp- healthy! It reminded us of our favorite restaurant, only healthier and cheaper :-)	Submitted by: LAURARAE (4/15/07)
