Crockpot Chicken and Lentils
A very satisfying and rewarding dish that is worth starting the night before with delicious flavors, low fat, good protein and fiber.
Ingredients
Directions
- Soak the lentils in water and marinate the chicken (cut into large cubes) over night.
- In a large crockpot, place chopped chicken, chopped onion, celery, lentils, black beans, garlic and dry seasonings.
- Simmer remaining marinade from chicken, until reduced 50% and then add to crockpot along with the chicken stock.
- Cook on low-medium for 10 hours, until chicken can be broken up with wooden spoon.
- Add tomatoes and if using fresh herbs, approximately 1-2 hours before serving.
- Freeze leftovers for a quick dinner or divide for easy to heat lunches. The cayenne is optional.
- Note: have fun with the flavors and enjoy a comforting bowl on a cold day!
- Tip: soak the lentils with 1-2 teaspoons of baking soda overnight and be sure to rinse thoroughly to help minimize the effects of the gas with beans.

Carbs are FAR too high for Kimkins.

I think you could reduce the net carbs in this recipe a lot if you just used a low-carb marinade. Otherwise it could be good for Atkins in small amounts. Sounds really tasty.

This is awesome! I travel a lot and keeping my husband on South Beach is hard when I'm gone. I put this in the crockpot and left - he ate it for 3 straight days even though I had other things for him!

This was great! I used Newmans Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing for my marinade and omitted a few spices I did not have on hand. Very good and filling!

This is more of a loose soup than your mama's C&D, but it's super high protein, very low fat, and ...

A simple pasta dish of chicken and mushrooms that is sure to warm you.
|
Such a wonderful flavor combination of citrus and herbs.
|
The simple topping of delightfully tangy red cherry tomatoes makes this meal perfect.
|
With chicken and veggies you have an all in one meal that comes together in a flash.
|
A different spin on enchiladas.
