Lentil & Chicken Tagine

This recipe is good even without the chicken. I use my pressure cooker to cut down on the cook time. If you are using a regular pot the time should be doubled.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

• 2  lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 3  cups water
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2  tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1⁄2 medium onion, chopped
• 1  small chicken bouillon cubes or 1⁄2 large chicken bouillon cube
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1  teaspoon ras el hanout spice mix, Ras El Hanout - Moroccan Spice Mix
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger
• 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1  cup dry lentils

Directions

1. Place all the ingredients into the pressure cooker or regular pot.
2. Cook for 8 minutes after the pressure cooker begins to hiss. Release the pressure, open the lid & stir. Add more water if needed then cover. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
3. Note: When using a regular pot the cook time should be around 25 minutes.
4. In Morocco, this tagine is served with thick bread to scoop up the lentils & chicken.
