Chicken with Lentils and Chorizo

I love lentils.  My husband is less enamoured with them.  However, he loves chorizo, so he managed to enjoy the combination.  I made the dish with chicken breast, but I think it would have been better with the thighs that it called for.  It would have created a depth a flavor that was slightly lacking.

Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken

In honor of the Olympics, I thought I’d make the American version of Chinese food. (I doubt this could be called actual Chinese food.)

I make my pot pies in individual 4 [...]
