Aromatic Chicken And Lentils Recipe

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 2 c. leeks minced
• 2 c. sweet potatoes uncooked and cubed
• 14 ounce canned diced tomatoes undrained
• 1 Tbsp. herbs de Provence
• 1/2 c. dry white wine
• 2 Tbsp. tomato paste
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/2 c. lentils brown
• 3 c. nonfat chicken broth
• 8 x chicken thighs without skin boneless

1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Coat a large skillet with Pam or possibly other nonstick cooking spray.. Saute/fry the leeks, sweet potatoes and herbs de Provence, for 5 min.
3. Stir in tomatoes, wine, tomato paste, cinnamon, lentils, and broth.
4. Simmer briefly.
5. Pour into a 13x9 casserole (sprayed with Pam).
6. Bury (it's more like sort of submerge) the chicken pcs in this mix.
7. Cover and bake 1 hour or possibly till the chicken is cooked and the lentils are tender.
8. Description: "The cinnamon makes this easy dish very special."
9. NOTES : Freezable and delicious.
10. The original recipe called for one whole chicken, cut up.
11. It also called for 1 tbsp oil, 2 whole tomatoes and 2 tsp cinnamon.
12. I think you could add in 2 tsp cinnamon without a problem.
13. I forgot the tomato paste when I made this and it was still good.
14. The sauce was just a little soupy.
15. Instead of sweet potatoes you could try carrots or possibly winter squash I think.
16. We loved this...will definitely make it again.
17. The nutritional analysis is accurate...except you will probably have some of the lentils/potatoes left over.
18. In other words, the amount of chicken serves 4...the lentils etc would probably serve six.
19. I guess you could add in extra chicken thighs.
20. I served 2 per person.
