Description

This lentil stew with chicken is a comforting and flavorful dish, perfect for cold days. The recipe, inspired by traditional Spanish cuisine, combines the richness of Castilian lentils with the juiciness of chicken and the freshness of vegetables. I have been preparing it for years and it is always a success at home. It is ideal for a family meal or to take to work, as it can be prepared in advance and reheated without losing its delicious flavor. It is also an economical and nutritious option, rich in protein and fiber. Go ahead and try it, you will love it!
