Chicken and Lentils

6 servings.

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 pounds chicken breasts

1 large onion, finely chopped

1 small carrot, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

3/4 cup dried lentils

1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth

1 (10 ounce) can tomato sauce

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken

pieces 5 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Remove

chicken from skillet, and set aside.

Place onion in the skillet, and cook 5 minutes, until tender. Mix in

the carrot and garlic. Stir in the lentils and broth. Bring to a

boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes.

Return chicken to skillet. Cover, and continue cooking 20 minutes. If

the mixture becomes too dry, add a little water to moisten.

Stir tomato sauce into the skillet. Season with rosemary and basil.

Continue cooking 10 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Stir in

lemon juice, and serve warm.
