Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil on medium-high. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned and just cooked through. Remove to a plate. To saucepan, add curry powder and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add lentils to saucepan and stir to coat. Stir in broth and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Return chicken to pan along with any accumulated juices and continue to cook until lentils are tender and most liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes more. Divide evenly among serving bowls, season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish each with yogurt and cilantro. (NOTE: If lentils are still not tender after cook time is complete, add ½ cup more water and continue to cook until softened.) Thought this chicken and lentils recipe was easy?

CHICKEN AND LENTIL CHILI
I like to make a simple, hearty slow-cooked recipe at least once a week. You can mix this up the night before and throw it into the crock on your way out the door. Use hotter tomatoes and chilies or salsa if you like more zing. -Laurie Stout-Letz, Bountiful, Utah
