Tips & Techniques

  • Did You Know?

    Lentils can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 2 years. Lentils do not require soaking, and compared to other legumes, they cook in a relatively short time.

Ingredients

  • 1  lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1  medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1  medium zucchini, chopped (2 cups)
  • 4  medium carrots, sliced (2 cups)
  • 1  cup dried lentils (8 oz), sorted, rinsed
  • 4 1/2  cups Progresso® chicken broth (from two 32-oz cartons)
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon pepper
  • 1  cup sliced fresh mushrooms (3 oz)
  • 1  can (28 oz) Muir Glen® organic diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4  cup chopped fresh or 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired

Directions

  1. 1Remove fat from chicken. In 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker, mix onion, zucchini, carrots, lentils, broth, salt and pepper. Add chicken.
  2. 2Cover; cook on Low heat setting 5 to 6 hours.
  3. 3Remove chicken from slow cooker. Use 2 forks to pull chicken into shreds. Return chicken to slow cooker. Stir in mushrooms and tomatoes. Cover; cook on Low heat setting about 15 minutes longer or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with basil. Serve with cheese.
