Lentils With Chicken Ww

I really liked this dish - good and filling. It is 8 points plus/serving. Recipe source: ww magazine (not sure which issue). I used red lentils as that is what i had, but i am pretty sure brown lentils will hold up better in this recipe.

Steps

In a large saucepan over medium heat and heat the oil and then add the vegetables and herbs and cook for 5-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Stir in the broth , tomatoes and lentils and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer covered for 45 minutes.
While lentils are cooking prepare the chicken by preheating the oven to 325 degrees f.
Sprinkle chicken with salt and 1 / 2 teaspoon pepper.
Spray skillet with pam and set it over medium heat.
Add chicken and brown chicken.
Add 2 / 3 cup broth to skillet and bring to a boil.
Cover and bake until chicken is done.
Stir chicken juices in with the lentils.
To serve , top lentils with the chicken and then sprinkle with parsley.
