Soak green lentils overnight, then cook them in chicken or vegetable stock the next day. Roast a whole chicken. Strip the meat. Simmer the bones in water for an hours and a half. Sieve the bones, save the broth. Then toss in chopped veg (carrots, green beans, celery, kale etc). When the veg is soft, add in the chicken and lentils. You’ll have food for one for the whole week and most of the cook time is just stuff in the oven or simmering on the stove. Prep is just chopping veg and stripping meat from the carcass.
It feels time consuming the first time you do it but once you’ve done it a few times, you’ll do it with your eyes closed. Chicken soup / stew for the soul.
