  We actually cooked this recipe for longer than it suggests, and the lentils went all mushy and it was delicious - a really hearty dinner for a cold night!

  Very easy to do and very healthy. Lentils cooking time is ok (but this was also the time recommended on the packet). Delicious recipe, even better the day after. Serve it with something, like potatoes or vegetables.

  This recipe had a really lovely flavour, my husband loved it! We have added it to our favorites. I used organic chicken breasts and the flavour was fantastic. The lentals made it a filling dish and added texture. Serve with charlotte potatoes and a large glass of white wine.

  This was delicious! It was easy to make, tasty, warming and filling.. and the bonus is that it is so healthy. We cooked it for longer though to soften the lentils more.

  Absolutely delicious and very straightforward � like other commenters, I let it cook for a bit longer and the results just melted in the mouth.

  This had a quite nice flavour. the preparation was a little long for what is basically a stew, browning the chicken properly takes a while but is worth it. I have definatley made better one pots with less prep time. If you double the recipe to feed four (as i did) i would recommend not doubling up on the wine (maybe fifty percent more)

  Cooked it for longer to soften the lentils but I needed to add more liquid as it cooked. Ended up delicious though and I have now done it several times
