Directions

  1. In a large pot, add lentils, stock, and Cajun seasoning. Boil until lentils are tender, roughly 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the lentils are cooking, place a sauté pan and over medium to high heat. Add oil, chicken, and blackening seasoning and cook until internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine lentils and rice. Combine malt vinegar and red wine vinegar, and dress the lentil/rice mixture with half of the combined vinegar.
  4. In a separate large mixing bowl, add snap peas, bell pepper, corn, and lettuce and toss with remaining vinegar.
  5. To plate, add lentil/rice blend in one half of the bowl and the vegetable blend in the other. Top with cooked chicken and serve.
