Description
This paprika chicken with tomato lentils is a flavorful and healthy dish that's perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The chicken breasts are seasoned with smoked paprika and lemon zest, then pan-fried until golden brown and crispy. The lentils are cooked with cherry tomatoes, garlic, fennel seeds, and sherry vinegar for a delicious and hearty side dish. I love to add a dollop of natural yogurt and fresh dill for extra flavor and creaminess. It's a balanced and satisfying meal that's ready in just 35 minutes!

Preparation (7 steps)
Prepare the chicken
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking parchment and, using a rolling pin, roll to a 1cm thickness. In a bowl, rub the chicken with the smoked paprika, lemon zest, ½ tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Cover and set aside while you prepare the lentils.
Chop garlic and fennel
Place the garlic clove into the mixing bowl and chop for 3 Sec./Stufe 7.
Sauté garlic and fennel seeds
Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil, fennel seeds and sliced fennel bulb to the mixing bowl with a pinch of salt. Cook for 5 Min./120°C/Stufe 1 until starting to soften.
Cook the lentils
Tip in the cherry tomatoes, sherry vinegar and puy lentils. Cook for 15 Min./100°C/Stufe 1/Linkslauf. Turn down the heat and leave to bubble away.
Cook the chicken
Heat another non-stick frying pan over a high heat, add the chicken breasts and cook for 7 mins, turning halfway, until golden brown and cooked through.
Add watercress and lemon juice
Add the watercress to the lentils and stir to wilt, then squeeze in the lemon juice.
Serve
Slice the chicken then serve it alongside the lentils with a dollop of natural yogurt and dill.
