Skillet Harissa Chicken & Lentils

Skillet Harissa Chicken & Lentils is a complete meal kit (just add chicken and a couple of other items) designed for easy, flavorful cooking at home. This North African-inspired dish combines warm spices with tender lentils for a satisfying one-pan dinner. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides—about 5 minutes per side. Set aside. Add the package contents along with canned crushed tomatoes and water, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Nestle the seared chicken back into the pan, cover, and cook an additional 10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Finish with fresh cilantro if desired. A restaurant-quality meal ready in under an hour, with minimal prep and maximum flavor.
