Harissa Chicken with Lentils

Heat the oil in a large pan. Fry the onion and garlic on a low heat for 5-6 minutes until softened and translucent.

Add the harissa paste and cook for 1 minute.

Add the chicken and cook on a slightly higher heat for 3-4 minutes until browned.

Stir in the carrot and cook for 2 minutes.

Stir in the lentils and tinned tomatoes then add enough stock or water to bring the liquid level up to the top of the ingredients.

Reduce the heat and cook for 25-30 minutes until the lentils are tender and the chicken thoroughly cooked.
