One-pot chicken baked on dhal

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 1 1⁄2 hours

Ingredients

1 T olive oil
2 T butter
1.3 kg free-range whole chicken, spatchcocked
300 g red or yellow split lentils, cooked according to package instructions
2 cups Woolworths organic chicken stock
2 red chillies, roughly chopped
2 green chillies, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 T fresh ginger, finely grated
1 T fresh turmeric, finely grated
12 curry leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Heat a large wok or nonstick pan over a high heat. Add the olive oil and butter and sear the chicken on both sides until golden. Remove from the wok.

Place the cooked lentils and remaining ingredients into a large ovenproof dish. Place the chicken on top of the lentils and roast for 1 1⁄2 hours, or until cooked through. Brush the chicken with melted butter every 20 minutes to keep the skin golden. Season to taste.

Cook's note: The ginger, turmeric and chilli in this easy, comforting supper will warm you up from the inside.
