Chicken Lentil Stew Meal Prep | Chicken Lentil Stew Recipe

I've got aubergine, zucchini, carrots, more onion, lentils and garlic. So I'm using red lentils, but you can use any other lentils that you like. So first thing you want to do is chop your onion into nice fine pieces. I like to chop it very, very fine and then do the same with your garlic. Nice and chunky pieces, but you can also use a little grater if you wish. Add olive oil into your pan together with your onions and garlic, and we're going to saute that for about five minutes or so to really release the flavors of our delicious food you'll start to smell the onion and it will caramelize a little bit and become golden next you want to take your carrots and you can grate these or you can chop them into circles like i'm doing here i decided to chop them more for texture because you know i want to make sure i'm eating delicious you know curry with all the veggies so once that's chopped you're going to add this into your onion mixture and leave it to cook for further five minutes or so then take your aubergine and chop it off from all the sides i usually like to peel off the skin you can leave the skin or you can peel it off it's completely up to you and then just cut your aubergine in half and then in half again and i do like to keep large chunks of the aubergine so i just cut them across a couple of times just like so they will soften and reduce while they're cooking so i don't like to cut them too small then we're going to do the same with zucchini just take your zucchini chop off the ends or any other bits that you need and cut your zucchini into large chunks just like so once your carrots and onions have been sorting you want to add your aubergine and mix everything through one more time and just give it a nice stir then you're going to add a can of chopped tomatoes you can get the tomatoes in this in their juice or just like the ones i have here then add coconut milk and i'm also adding turmeric and some ginger and some curry mixture this is optional but if you wanted a little bit of flavor you could add that in and then i'm adding more of my vegetable stock inside then what you want to do you just want to mix everything together and you will get this beautiful golden color already and once you mixed everything through you're then going to drop in your lentils i don't soak them before red lentils cook pretty fast you just want to add those in mix them through you just want to mix everything through and leave it to cook take your chicken breast and cut it into nice thin pieces just like so and i like to use a lot of chicken again don't forget it will shrink while it's baking and you just want to add your chicken together with your lentils and vegetables and mix everything one more time until it's nice and mixed the mixture will start to thicken up because of lentils and vegetables so feel free to add some water i'm just using a little bit of water and if your water starts to evaporate feel free to add more water and as you go you want to cook this on low heat because we want all the vegetables to stew together and of course for our chicken to cook so usually i cook this for about 20 minutes or so and as you can see i keep adding water just to make sure you know it doesn't burn and our delicious uh chicken curry with lentils is cooked for extra boost you want to you want to add your zucchini together with broccoli and cauliflower into a pot and steam it separately and then what i usually do i leave it to cool down and once my curry is done i divide the chicken curry into my pot and then i add my zucchini and all my delicious green vegetables and divide it between the mixture we do have a lot of vegetables inside the actual curry but of course if this is a super healthy meal prep you just want to get more veggies inside so just add those in and if you wanted to add anything else feel free to do so enjoy this meal prep and i can't wait to see your dishes
