Chicken Lentils Recipes

Quick, tasty slow cooker recipe ready for something with the seasoning to match a takeout craving, but with none of the effort or fat!

Came up with the recipe on a day I needed a very low fat but filling dish.

From Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. You'll notice above in nutritional info that I listed 2 cups lentils and below in ingredients it's 1 cup. That's because sparkpeople's nutrtional info for lentils is specifically for cooked (although they annoyingly don't say that...you discover it by cross-checking them). 1 cup dry lentils makes 2 cups cooked. Voila.

Murgh aur masoor dal is really like a hearty stew, perfect for cold winter days. You could add vegetables to it as well, such as shelled peas or 1/2-inch lengths of green beans. It you do this, put in the vegetables at about the same time as you in the lemon juice.

In this lucious and earthy dish, a richly flavored garlic sauce coats pieces of gently braised chicken. Fiber and protein packed lentils, flavored with orange zest, complement the chicken broth in flavor and texture. For those who are garlic wary, fear not: Cooking whole cloves mellows the flavor, and they lose their telltale pungency.

A Low calorie, low carb, high fiber high protien soup that tastes great.

This is an experiment with lentils and veggies. The balsamic vinagar adds a fun kick to it, but the recipe can easily be made without it if you prefer. Lots of good fiber and protien in this dish.

Yummy Indian spices in an all-in-one dish! This is a non-saucy rice dish. I start this on the stove and finish in a rice cooker, but you can easily do it all on the stove.

Barley & lentils make a delicious, nutritious combination. Adding a little chicken makes my carnivorous husband happy, too.

A great way to use up produce in your fridge!

I reduced the recipe in half and removed skin from chicken thighs.

This was really quick and easy to make, and tastes really good. I served it over Moroccan Spicy Quinoa, but would go well with rice or couscous.
