Mexican chicken with lentils

This is a great end to my day. Renovations are officially done and I was so happy just now, watching the men who have been working on our place for three months packing up their things for good.

I spent a large part of the afternoon cooking in my new kitchen, and I made the boys a meal (after three months, you get to be friendly). They loved the chicken (which they ate with 6 tons of sour cream and salsa) and lentils.

It’s the perfect recipe to ease skeptics into eating lentils, and it’s great for weeknights. I recommend setting aside 25 minutes before bed to do the first 4 steps. The following night, all you’ll have to do is assemble it all and serve.
