Instructions
- Season chicken with 1 tablespoon of the Berbere Seasoning Blend. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken in batches; brown on both sides. Remove from pan; set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to skillet. Add onions; cook 10 minutes or until browned and softened, stirring occasionally. Return chicken and juices to skillet. Add lentils, roasted bell pepper, tomatoes, basil, cardamom, sea salt and remaining 3 tablespoons Berbere Seasoning Blend. Add sweet potato and water. Stir and bring to a simmer; cover and simmer 40 to 50 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and sweet potato is tender. Remove cover during last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325°F. Place naan on baking pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until very crisp. Cool then crumble into small pieces.
