Moroccan-Style Chicken With Lentils

Features:
  • Spicy
Cuisine:

This was fantastic. I did it all on the stove top in my cast iron pot, cooking for 40 minutes after adding the chicken. used mushroom stock cubes from the health food store since I had no stock on hand. The flavour is wonderful; I added a little hot sauce to increase the spice. Also, I put some green beans from the garden on top to steam for the last 5 minutes and served it over cous cous. Made a great dinner for all. Thank you so much English Rose for posting this recipe!
