Moroccan Chicken and Lentils

I love middle eastern food. Like. Love. I also love lentils and am always searching for new ideas. I've made this recipe, or similar to it a few times and it has always turned out well!  It is a one pot meal, if you want it to be that. So yeas, I used a slow cooker.  I don't like giving exact measurements because it is not necessary when cooking savory so adjust as you see fit.

2 cups lentils
Chopped vegetables: carrots, onion, rutabaga and anything you might like.
Chopped garlic
2 tsp curry powder
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp ginger (dry or fresh)
chicken stock

Chicken
Chicken thighs - Pre- bake them to develop flavor and use your favorite spice rub


1. Put everything into a crock pot, but not the chicken. Stir to mix
2. Put the chicken over the lentils and vegetables.
3. Pour the stock over everything. Use enough to cover the lentils, but not the chicken or else you will have soup.
4. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
5. Enjoy!
