How to make it, step by step

1. Brown the diced chicken breast in a pot with the oil over high heat for 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
2. In the same pot, sauté the minced garlic and paprika for 30 seconds.
3. Add the red lentils (no soaking needed), the broth and the cumin.
4. Cook over medium heat for 12-14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft.
5. Return the chicken, adjust the salt and serve. Red lentils get very creamy on their own.
