Ginger Curry Chicken with Lentils and Leeks

All by itself, the cooking liquid--chicken broth flavored with ginger, oranges, and leeks--would be a great soup recipe. Poultry, lentils, and bok choy make it a meal.

Ingredients
  • 3 lb. meaty chicken pieces
  • 2 Tbsp. curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt or salt
  • 2 Tbsp. cooking oil
  • 1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
  • 2 large leeks, halved lengthwise, rinsed, and sliced
  • 1 small orange, cut in wedges
  • 1 cup French lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 1 14-oz. can reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 to 2 heads baby bok choy, separated into individual leaves
Directions
  • Skin chicken, if desired. Sprinkle chicken with 1 tablespoon curry powder and salt. Brown chicken pieces, half at a time if necessary, in 4-quart Dutch oven in hot oil over medium-high heat. Remove from pan. Add ginger, leeks, orange wedges, and remaining curry powder. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until leeks are tender.
  • Stir in lentils, broth, and wine. Return chicken pieces to pan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cook, covered, for 55 to 60 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (170 degrees F).
  • Remove chicken; stir bok choy into lentil mixture. Use slotted spoon to serve. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
