Low-Cost/Low-Time/Low-Cal Chicken Dinner
I like making new things, but sometimes a humble weeknight dinner is best, especially when trying to make better choices. This chicken thigh dinner is still delicious in its own right and worth a try.
Ingredients:
Chicken:
-4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
-salt
-any other seasoning you like (I used pepper and soy sauce powder)
-4 tbsp butter

-2 cloves crushed garlic
Sautéed Lentils:
-about 1/2lb (225g) of dry lentils
-1 bay leaf
-salt to taste
-1 medium yellow onion

-2 tbsp tomato paste

-any seasoning you like (I used something similar to a curry powder)
Roasted broccoli:
