Linda I saw that recipe and was excited at first, because I too like lentils a lot, but once I really looked at it, decided to skip it. There is really nothing to flavor the chicken. I know it's supposed to be quick, but it still can be flavorful. I would have made a basic sofrito, added garlic and a bit of cumin for starters. Someone here recommended this
this lentil recicpe. I made it and enjoyed it. I did tweak it, so if you'd like my tweaks, let me know. We had it hot as a main dish.
I did recently make another Kenji PC recipe, PC Chicken and Chick Pea Masala and it was easy and tasty.
