How to cook lentils with chicken

It is advisable to presoak red lentils in cold water for 2 hours. You can use green lentils, I think this is not important. In many recipes, lentils are used dry, but I usually soak them like any legumes. This speeds up the cooking process.

Chicken fillet (breast or ham) cut into small pieces, salt, pepper and fry in very hot vegetable oil until golden brown.

Wash Bulgarian pepper, remove the seed box and cut into strips. Fry pepper in vegetable oil.
Drain and rinse the soaked lentils with cold water, put in a pan with thick walls or gooseberries, you can use the pot for the oven. We put fried chicken and sauteed pepper there.

In a glass of water add tomato paste, a little salt, a pinch of sugar and stir everything. Add tomato sauce to the dishes with lentils. The sauce should be about twice as much as lentils, but not to the top. It should be taken into account that during cooking, the liquid will boil strongly and the lentils will absorb a lot of water. Lentils, like peas, swell a lot during cooking, about twice. Add any spices to the lentils, black pepper. We close the pot with a lid. We put lentils with chicken in a pot in the oven to cook. Cooking time is at least 60 minutes. Lentils should be well-ground and the whole liquid will evaporate.

• Gourmets say that fresh or chilled chicken dishes come out more juicy than frozen. However, a frozen product is cheaper and stored for a long time, so many housewives prefer to purchase it. To prevent frozen chicken meat from being dry, it must be allowed to thaw under natural conditions, without subjecting it to a sharp temperature drop. If you want to speed up the process with a microwave or warm water, you will make a mistake that cannot be fixed.
