Cooking Steps
- Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Cut each flatbread into 8 equal wedges.
- Using a strainer, rinse lentils until water runs clear.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp oil), then chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook until golden, 1-2 min per side.
- Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until chicken is cooked through, 12-14 min.**
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then zucchini. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
- Remove from heat, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer zucchini to a plate.
- Heat the same pot over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then mirepoix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min.
- Add garlic puree, Harissa Spice Blend and Moroccan Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Add lentils, crushed tomatoes, stock powder and 2 cups (3 1/2 cups) water to the same pot. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until lentils soften, 12-15 min.
- Add zucchini. Cook, stirring often, until heated through, 1-2 min. Season with pepper. (TIP: If you prefer a brothier stew, add extra water, 1/4 cup at a time!)
- While stew simmers, add flatbread wedges and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer.
- Bake flatbread wedges in the middle of the oven, until golden-brown and crispy, 4-5 min.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide stew between bowls, then top with chicken. Sprinkle feta and cilantro over top.
- Serve flatbread wedges alongside for dunking.
If you've opted to add chicken breasts, pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
