I made this on a very busy Monday.  Monday is typically busy with grocery shopping, swim lessons, home for dinner then off to volleyball with friends.  After grocery shopping I threw everything in the slow cooker while the kids ate lunch.  By the time we got home from swim lessons the house smelled amazing!  It was so delicious.  Chloe, who is 4 ½ now loved it.  This made a lot, so it will be dinner another night this week.  Yum!  Definitely give this one a try.

Ingredients:
3 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
1 ½ Cups Lentils, rinsed
