Chicken and Lentil Stew (South Beach Diet Phase 2)
From most recent book. Haven't tried. This hearty, quick cooking stew tastes as if it had been simmered for hours. Double the recipe, it freezes beautifully.

Easy, nutritious and delicious....what more could you ask for in a recipe...Oh, yeah, I had all the ingredients on hand and that was another plus! I made this recipe almost exactly as posted, only added a couple of small amounts of leftovers that I had. It was really a delicious soup! Thanks for sharing it with us on Food.com, Lizzie!!!Reply

OMG, this is excellent and so flavorful and filling. I did use tomatoes w/green chiles and that game it some extra spice. DH & DD both wanted theirs over rice, but I thought it was fine just the way it was. Makes a nice easy meal for a busy night and healthy as well. This will be on my make again soon list.
