A Healthy One Pot Meal In Record Time!

Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening / Night, wherever you are in your day, hope it's a good one!

Before I go any further, thoughts and prayers for all the people who have uselessly lost their lives in the past few days! Christina Grimmie, the Orlando victims, the little boy taken by an alligator at a resort in Disneyworld Florida. Today the killing of the MP Jo Cox being shot and stabbed in her own constituency in Northern England. Jo was with the Remain in the EU campaign. So senselessly losing her life, R.I.P Jo Cox. I hope people will now vote to remain.

For today's blog, I am choosing a one pot recipe to make your dinner time easy and nutritious with something healthy being served up quick. Enjoy the food and happy cooking!

Lentil Chicken one-pot

Ingredients:
1 tsp vegetable oil
2 rasher lean dry-cure back bacon, trimmed and chopped
2 large bone-in chicken thigh, skin removed
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
2 tsp plain flour
2 tsp tomato purée
150ml dry white wine
200ml chicken stock
50g green lentil
½ tsp dried thyme
85g chestnut mushroom, halved if large

Instructions:
1. Heat the oil in a non-stick wide, shallow pan, add bacon and fry briskly until lightly coloured, then lift on to a plate. Add the chicken and fry on each side until lightly brown. Set aside with the bacon. Tip onion and garlic into the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and tomato purée, then stir over a low heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the wine, stock, lentils and thyme. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the mushrooms. Add the bacon and chicken, pushing them under the liquid. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until lentils are tender and the chicken cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
