Dhal with Chicken

1 cup lentils (I used red)
1 cup chopped onion
olive oil
about 2 inches of ginger root, peeled and grated (tip - freeze the ginger first, it grates easier!)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 t ground coriander
1 t ground cinnamon
1 t ground turmeric
1 raw chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
32 oz low sodium chicken or veg broth


Soak lentils for at least 1 hour.  Drain and rinse.  Simmer for 10 minutes then drain and rinse.

Peel and finely chop onion.  Cook onion in oil for about 10 minutes.

Add ginger and garlic, cook 1 minute.  Add chicken and all spices, cook for about 10 minutes or until chicken is done.

Remove chicken pieces and place in food processor.  Process until pieces are desired size.  Return to pan.

Add lentils and broth to pan.  Cover and simmer 20-30 minutes or until lentils are tender.

Difficulty	Easy
Does it freeze well?	Yes
Would I eat it?	Yes
Does A like it?	Yes

Notes: I made this for the "adult" dinner and froze the rest for A.  It made two adult dinner portions plus about 18 ounces which I froze.  It isn't much to look at, but is quite tasty!
