hmmm…seems like WAAAAAAY too much oil. not necessary. but good flavour combo and super easy. we added raisins because was a little to bitey as far as vinegar. was a splendid addition. we also served with spinach to add a little green not to mention some much needed vitamins!

I just made this with red quinoa instead of lentils and it was delicious. Easy to make and not anything like what we typically do with chicken. Loved it and will make it again.

I was just randomly searching google for a recipe with chicken and red lentils and stumbled across your blog. I cooked the recipe last night for myself and my wife. It was great! I am definitely going to make it again. I just wanted to thank you for posting it. The only thing I did differently was to add some large pieces of green zucchini before sauteing the chicken (during the last minute or so of sauteing the onions) in order to get another veggie into the meal. It worked great, and I loved the spice level, though I’ll probably tone it down just slightly next time for my wife’s sake. I might even make just the lentils again they were so good. Thanks again!

goya makes red lentils and you can usually find that in a regular supermarket

Kelly, I’m so glad your family enjoyed it! If you have any international grocery stores nearby (Hispanic, Asian), you might check there for the red lentils as that’s where I always find mine.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was fabulous! Unfortunately, I looked in three different stores and couldn’t find red lentils. So I used some dark brown ones that have been in my pantry forever. They took a lot longer to cook than the recipe states for the red ones. I also made some couscous to go with this dish because I was afraid that some of our family might turn their noses up at the lentils. The couscous was a nice addition, but 4 out of 5 kids actually ate the lentils: I was shocked! This will definitely be made again. I’m going to have to venture out to Whole Foods and see if I can find the red lentils there. Thanks for a great family friendly recipe!

I wasn’t very impressed with this recipe…I used red wine vinegar and it was still a little too tangy. I tried your method of pouring the dressing over the chicken and letting it sit. The spices didn’t seem to meld very well however the leftovers did taste better the next day though.

[...] Been a little busy the last few days so this ones a bit overdue. Tonights recipe was Moroccan-Style Chicken and Lentils courtesy of Andrea’s Recipe Box. This was an extremely easy recipe to make and had surprising results, for starters, it looked nothing like the picture in the recipe, but then again, when do things! The taste of it was sublime though, I used cider vinegar as we’d run out of red wine and it added a lovely tanginess to the chicken. The dish was actually a lot milder than I was expecting two, with all that chilli powder in it, all I got was a tingle on the tongue, no fiery hotness. This one is definately going on my cookagain list, thankyou Andrea! [...]
