Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Rub 1 tbsp olive oil into the chicken thighs. Mix the garlic, cumin, coriander and paprika together, then rub all over the chicken thighs on both sides.
- Heat a large flameproof casserole, add the chicken thighs and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until golden on both sides. You might need to do this in 2 batches, depending on the size of the casserole. Set the chicken aside. Turn down the heat, add the remaining oil and fry the onion for 5 mins until softened.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients, apart from the mint and bring to the boil. Place the chicken thighs on top and pour in any juices. Cover and cook for 1½ hrs, until the meat is tender and the sauce thickened. Can be cooled and frozen at this stage for up to 1 month. Defrost thoroughly in the fridge, then gently warm through. Scatter with fresh mint leaves and serve with couscous or rice.

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?

- Put the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear.

- Meanwhile, put the green beans in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Cover and microwave until hot, about 3 minutes
- Add the chicken-onion mixture, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the quinoa-lentil mixture and stir to combine. Divide among four bowls. Top each with greens beans, almonds and a dollop of yogurt.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN AND LENTILS
I clipped this recipe from the January 2004 Bon Appetit, and just got around to trying it... we absolutely loved it and I can't wait to make it again. It's really a quick and easy weeknight supper, and it makes the kitchen smell luscious! Since this serves 12, I cut the recipe by 1/4 when I made it (and it fed two happy people), but I'll include the original measurements and serving size here.
