CHICKEN AND LENTILS

SPICE MIX:


1 Tablespoon Paprika
2 Teaspoons Cumin
2 Teaspoons Coriander
1 Teaspoon Ginger
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Large Onion, sliced thin
5 Cloves Garlic, minced
2 Large Chicken Breasts
1 Can Sliced Carrots
11/2 Cups Chicken Broth
1 Cup Dried Lentils

In a small bowl combine all of the spices and set aside. In a large skillet heat the oil and add the onion and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the spice blend and cook for 3 minutes watching to make sure the spices do not burn. Stir frquently. Add the chicken, cut up, and the chicken broth and carrots. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until chicken is done. May need to add some more broth. Cook around 25 minutes. If you will cook this on low it will let more flavors come out of the spices. Around 15 minutes before ready to serve this. Remove the chicken and sit aside. Add the lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let cook for 15 minutes or until done. Add the cut up or diced chicken back to the skillet and let it get warm thru. Stir good.Serve over rice.
