This is an anitajoye original and it is delish! It's great crockpot dish. Start it in the morning and it will be ready for dinner. You can serve it over Basmatti rice, or eat alone as a soup

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups lentils
3 cups water
2 chicken breasts, cubed
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice or fresh tomatoes, equivalent
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Put all ingredients but the cilantro in the crock pot. If you want your chicken in a 'shredded' like consistency, put it in now, if you want it less done, add about 1.5 hours before you want to eat it in chunks.
2
Leave to cook overnight or start in the morning for dinner.
3
Taste to season with salt and pepper and add fresh cilantro.
4
stir and enjoy.
5
Can be eaten alone or with rice.

Can be cooked on the stove top as well, but the crockpot is easiest.

An easy enough dish with plenty of flavor (I added more cumin, some cumin and crushed red pepper because of other reviews - great idea). Great curry dish. Thanks for sharing!

My DH and I love this recipe! I add more garlic and cumin and and use a spicy curry powder to heat it up a bit. Very satisfying and nutritious.

pretty good, normally I don't like lentils but this was actually palatable. My mother and father who both like to eat lentils (normally plain) absolutely adored this. My suggestion is if you don't like lentils, you will be able to eat this and still enjoy it but if you like lentils, then you are going to love this dish. Thanks!

this is a very tasty dish, great flavor from the spices and very easy to put together. i left the chicken in large strips, due to picky eaters, and used basil instead of cilantro, personal taste. i will be making this again.
