Two weeks ago I invited you to prepare some lentils with zucchini, do you remember? Today I propose another recipe with lentils, for me better than the previous one, although there is nothing written about tastes. Nails lentils with chicken and spinach that you can enjoy as a single dish.
This recipe is round for its combination of ingredients. All of them simple. But since when is it essential to complicate to eat well? Overwhelming, comforting, healthy, tasty… this dish has it all and is ideal on those chilly days that we still enjoy.
You will not regret making this recipe! And it won't take you long to do it either. In total I was late little more than an hour in having these lentils ready but you can use canned cooked lentils and save time. The important thing is to include legumes in our diet. Will you try it?
The recipe
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 green bell pepper, minced
- ¼ red bell pepper, chopped

- Then add the chopped potatoes and the tomato and cook for a couple of minutes while we stir.
- We add the lentils, a pinch of cumin and pour broth until generously covered.

- Before putting out the fire add the spinach and let them cook with the residual heat.
- All that remains is to enjoy these lentils with chicken and spinach.
