  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. - 1/20/09

  Now that it's warmer out, we like to grill up a bunch chicken breasts on a Sunday afternoon, cool and chop them, and freeze them for anything we want throughout the week. I made this recipe and added the already grilled chicken just before serving. YUM! - 4/14/14

  I Loved this! Using by some of the tips below I doubled the spices and I added an onion because I always add an onion. It was very tasty! - 3/14/14

  Delicious! I really enjoyed this, and I like that it's so simple. I added about a half cup of raisins during the last half hour of cooking to gave it a little something extra. It adds some sugar, but some fibre too, so it's still pretty healthy. - 2/3/11

  Just finished putting this in the crock pot. Used curry instead of tumeric. Made home made chicken stock using chicken back. Added onions. And will add 2 cups of cabbage to bump up the veggies. Smells delish already! - 10/8/13

  I thought that this was pretty good. I don't know that my husband liked it as much as I did. I cooked it for about 12 hours and the lentils were still really firm and the carrots were too. But it was not bad. - 6/10/13

  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. - 7/20/08

  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. - 6/11/08

  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. - 5/2/08

  I did change up a few things. I took out the Cayenne as I don't like the heat from it. I did half and half water and broth. I did use full flavor broth though. I also cooked it over night. I love the way it smelled as it was cooking. And the flavor is amazing!!! It's what's for dinner tonight!!! - 2/11/21

  Delicious. I cooked it in a pressure cooker to save time and it came out a little thin, like soup. But everyone in the family loved it and went for seconds. I will make this again. - 1/1/16

  Excellent! Very tasty, took commenters advice and doubled the spices. I cooked it on high and after about 3.5 hours the chicken was already falling apart and the lentils were soft but not mushy. Thanks! - 3/2/15

  This didn't turn out that great. The flavors were off for some reason. I'm not sure if it was the brand of spices I had, or if I messed something up. - 4/6/13

  I actually prepared this recipe exactly except I doubled the spice. I didn't like the cinnamon double though. It was too strong. I also had to add fat. I always add butter to my individual bowl. I served this with Brown Rice. - 10/11/12

  Delicious! It has a slightly sweet flavor due to the cinnamon but cooked up well. Served it over pearled couscous. Fabulous the day after as leftovers - 3/31/12

  Worst recipe ever :( a waste of food - cooking lentils for 5 hours on high in a slow cooker, resulted in MUSH! I think this recipe needs tweaking. Maybe less cook time? Was so disappointed :/ - 10/20/11

  I added onions & spinach. It was filling, but the flavors were a bit bland and something missing. I doubled the turmeric & cinnamon, but should have doubled the salt & garlic and perhaps added curry or something else. Maybe it will meld and leftovers will be better. Used both green & brown lentils. - 8/14/11

  We loved it! I made it just as the recipe said, except that I put in chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts so I could easily choose a smaller amount of chicken per serving. This is definitely going on our "eat often" list! - 3/1/11

  Very good and easy to make ahead. I chopped the veggies the night before, put in the spices, and then threw it all together in the crock pot in the morning before running out to work. Also added about a cup of frozen spinach. I'll definitely make again.

  This is really good. A little salty for my tastes though, so next time I might omit the extra salt or replace one can of chicken broth with water. And there will definitely be a next time! - 12/3/10

  As suggested, I doubled the spices. I thought about adding onion but didn't bother. I used two chicken breasts with bones because that is all I had available, and I also added fresh mushrooms and frozen spinach to the crock pot. I used some of the broth to make rice to go along with it. Wonderful! - 9/21/10

  I didn't have 5 hours to work with. Instead, I put this on stove top for about 1.50 hours. I doubled the spices -- except the pepper, & included curry. I added 6 cups of broth, & got more of a soup instead. For a drier touch, I drained the broth, & added to brown rice. Delicous in both varieties. - 9/12/10

  PT1234, If you use red lentils, they will turn into white colorless things similar in looks to cooked quinoa, I don't know if you used brown or green, but red is definitely not the way to go. :) Just so you know... - 6/11/10

  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! - 12/20/07

  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. - 8/6/07

  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! - 7/29/07
