Directions
Moroccan Chicken and Lentils, I clipped this recipe from the January 2004 Bon Appetit, and just got around to trying it we absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to make it again It’s really a quick and easy weeknight supper, and it makes the kitchen smell luscious! Since this serves 12, I cut the recipe by 1/4 when I made it (and it fed two happy people), but I’ll include the original measurements and serving size here , Lots of flavor, but really needs tweaking so I can’t give it too many stars The oil in the dressing is much too much; I decreased it and could still actually TASTE it on the lentils I think I’d try 1/2 cup next time, but then also decrease the vinegar a bit so it’s not overpowering I had too much dressing for the lentils anyway I did reserve some as written, but didn’t pour it over everything at the end- didn’t need it at all Also, as others have said, the salt needs to be decreased on the chicken, and the lentils are better served warm This recipe has an interesting tangy spiced flavor I don’t know if I’ll try again or not
