Instructions
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, add the chorizo sausage, red onion, garlic and celery and cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is beginning to soften.
- Add the chicken pieces and red pepper to the pan and cook for about 4 minutes until the chicken is coloured all over.

Recipe Notes
Cook's tip: French green lentils are tiny, grey-green lentils. They have a distinctive flavour and hold their shape and colour when cooked. But if they are not available, you can use any other green or brown lentils.
