Yogurt-Rubbed Chicken with Tomato Lentils is a nourishing and aromatic dish featuring tender chicken marinated in a spiced yogurt blend, then grilled or baked for a flavorful, juicy finish. It’s served over a hearty bed of tomato-simmered lentils, rich with garlic, herbs, and a touch of spice—perfect for a comforting, protein-packed meal with Middle Eastern or Indian flair.

Ingredients

Tender chicken thighs are given an Asian inspired twist in this succulent yoghurt-rubbed chicken with tomato lentils recipe.

Ingredients (serves 4):

Olive oil cooking spray

1 brown onion, chopped

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 garlic cloves, crushed

3 teaspoons turmeric

½ cup dried red lentils, rinsed

400g can crushed tomatoes

1 bunch coriander, washed, dried

½ cup low-fat plain yoghurt

1 tablespoon paprika

1 small red chilli, chopped (optional)

500g chicken thigh fillets, trimmed

Spray a saucepan with oil and heat over medium heat.

Add onion, cumin, half the garlic and 1 teaspoon turmeric. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes or until onion is soft.

Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, for 15 minutes or until lentils are tender.

Meanwhile, remove leaves from coriander and set aside.

Roughly chop stems and roots. Combine with yoghurt, paprika, chilli, remaining garlic and remaining turmeric in a bowl.

Add chicken and turn to coat.

Spray a large, non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium heat.

Cook chicken for 10 minutes each side or until cooked through.

Stir coriander leaves into lentil mixture.
