Chicken and Lentil Stew (South Beach Diet Phase 2) image

From most recent book. Haven't tried. This hearty, quick cooking stew tastes as if it had been simmered for hours. Double the recipe, it freezes beautifully.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The flavors were great and the lentils were cooked perfectly. I would recommend this recipe to others, but I would suggest using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
