Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat a grill pan or grill on medium heat. Season the chicken well with seasoning rub and drizzle with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken on both sides to get nice markings. Place into the oven and cook to an internal temperature of 160 degrees using a thermometer. Let rest, dice into bite sized pieces right before using.
  • Heat a pot over medium heat. Once hot , add the oil. Sauté the onion, carrot, celery and garlic until they start to soften.
  • Stir in the broth, lemongrass, coconut milk, and lentils. Bring to a simmer until lentils are soft and the soup builds flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use a slotted spoon to portion to remove most of the cooking liquid. Add in the chicken. Serve with bread. Garnish with cilantro.
