Crispy chicken with mustard and cream lentils

Method

1. Heat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Toss the chicken in a medium bowl with 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Season. Spread over a roasting tray, then roast for 35-40 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and crush the garlic. Put in a medium pan with the remaining oil and cook gently, without colouring, for 10 minutes. Add the lentils and stock, then bring to a simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes until the lentils are cooked but still have some bite. The consistency should be slightly soupy. If there’s too much liquid, drain some off; if there’s too little, add a splash of water.
3. Stir the mustard and cream/crème fraîche through the lentils, then gently bubble to reduce a little. Season, then serve in dishes with the crispy chicken on top, garnished with chopped parsley.
