Curried Chicken with Red Lentils

This Indian-inspired dish will fill your kitchen with delicious smells, encouraging every family member to come in and ask what’s cooking. Tender chicken thighs are slow-cooked in curry paste and served over creamy, spiced lentils. This recipe is great to meal-prep, as it makes an ample amount of food and can be easily reheated the next day for lunch or dinner. If you want to switch things up, wrap the chicken, lentils, and a handful of fresh spinach in a 12″ tortilla for a portable meal.

Note: If you would like, add 1-2 tsps homemade Curry Powder to add even more flavor to this delicious meal.

Note: If you would like to schedule this meal, but do not want to wait for the broiler to cool before refrigerating, sauté coated chicken and onion mixture in two medium skillets over medium-high heat until onion is softened and chicken is browned, about 5 minutes, instead of broiling in Suvie.
