Spicy chicken and lentils
INGREDIENTS
- 1 chicken breast
- ½ box of Chicken Thyme Soup
- ¼ small red pepper
- Green beans
- Garlic bread
- Slow cooker
- George Forman Grill
- Microwave-able dish for the green beans
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
*Core the red pepper and discard the seeds. If you decide to add the seeds please be sure to have your family doctor on the phone so he can help your family administer hot pepper CPR. My suggestion is to get rid of the seeds. Slice the pepper in large strips and place them on top of the soup ingredients.
Read the instructions on the back of the box carefully. Remember to add only half the water because you’re only using half the ingredients. Place the contents of the soup in a slow cooker and set it on medium, put the peppers on top. The lentils will cook slowly and take up to 3 hours so this is one of those recipes you don’t have to stay home and watch over.
When the lentils are done put your chicken breast on the grill and allow it to cook. To get the grilled look pre-heat the grill for two minutes.
Toast bread or garlic bread.
Prepare a veggie
Enjoy

Commentary
In stores the soup mix will cost you up to $3.00 but I found this soup mix at my local food pantry. If you go to a food pantry and you are allowed to choose what you want be sure to look at everything. You may find little treasures such as this soup mix.
Beware of red peppers. If you use the seeds you will get burned. You must seed the pepper before adding it to the slow cooker soup.

COOKING TIPS
Food Safety Tips
Always wash your hands before and after cooking. The majority of food-born illnesses are a result of poor hand washing skills. So how do you wash your hands properly?
Position your hands under the water and scrub for about 5 seconds. Clean all the way past your wrist. When drying, hold your hands and arms facing down, not up. When the doctors on ER hold their arms up with the water dripping down it’s for Hollywood effect only. No doctor I’ve ever known or that I’ve seen would let the water run down the arm and accumulate on the sleeves. Hold your hands and arms down so that the water runs off. Dry your hands well.
It is important to be balanced in your cleaning of food and food surfaces. If you spray enough you can keep down germs, if you spray too much the chemicals build up in your house and cause pulmonary difficulties for you, your family and your pets. Be balanced in how you clean and how you view germs. Be aware of what causes germs, like under-cleaned sponges and under-cleaned dish rags, cutting boards used without proper washing or surfaces holding raw meat and veggies simultaneously. The good thing about germs is, the body is designed to fight them and win. The bad thing about germs is, if we don’t understand them we can’t help our body fight them. Be balanced in your hand washing and be conscious of your food surfaces and as always, enjoy yourself.
