Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Boil a half kettle. In a bowl, mix the chicken with the honey, harissa, sea salt and pepper. Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbsp oil on a medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pan. Cut the carrot into 1cm cubes and add it to the pan too. Cook for 3-5 mins, turning the chicken halfway, until golden.
  2. Meanwhile; roughly dice the shallot. Drain and rinse the lentils. Dissolve the half stock cube in a jug with 200ml boiling water. Add the shallot and garlic herb paste to the pan. Cook for 2 mins then stir in the lentils and add the stock and kale.
  3. Simmer for 3-5 mins until the chicken is cooked, season with sea salt to taste, then serve into bowls. Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Cook for longer if necessary.
