Chicken and Lentil Bake with Melted Cheese
Baked chicken breast and earthy lentils are simmered in a savory tomato sauce and topped with a layer of bubbly, melted sharp cheddar.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked green lentils
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.25 cup tomato puree
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup yellow onion
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add the extra virgin olive oil and sauté the diced yellow onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted, then remove from heat.
In a small oven-safe baking dish, stir together the cooked green lentils, tomato puree, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Fold the sautéed onion, garlic, and spinach into the lentil mixture until well combined.
Place the chicken breast on top of the lentils, pressing it down slightly into the sauce.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the chicken, and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
