Steps:
- Heat oil in a small or medium (depending on how many chicken breasts you are cooking) heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add lardons, carrot, leek, parsley, mint, and lemon zest and cook, stirring frequently, until lardons are crisp and vegetables are soft, about 7 minutes. Stir in lentils and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add mustard and stir to combine.
- Place chicken on top of lentil mixture in saucepan and add 2 (or 3 if cooking 2 chicken breasts) cups water. Bring to a boil and cover; reduce heat to a simmer and cook until chicken is cooked through and lentils are tender, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately or remove saucepan from heat and uncover. Let cool at room temperature for no more than 1 hour. Cover saucepan and transfer to refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until heated through. This dish is best served when made in advance.

Steps:
- Put the parsley, thyme, onion, carrot, celery, and chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Cover with the broth, and bring just to a boil. Lower the heat to very low and cover. Poach the chicken for 20 minutes or until firm to the touch. Remove the pan from the heat, uncover, cool the chicken in the liquid for 30 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and reserve the liquid. Bone and skin the chicken and cut the meat into cubes. Discard the bones and skin.
- Strain the broth and store, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for later use. Remove any fat from the surface of the broth before using.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Rub 1 tbsp olive oil into the chicken thighs. Mix the garlic, cumin, coriander and paprika together, then rub all over the chicken thighs on both sides.
- Heat a large flameproof casserole, add the chicken thighs and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until golden on both sides. You might need to do this in 2 batches, depending on the size of the casserole. Set the chicken aside. Turn down the heat, add the remaining oil and fry the onion for 5 mins until softened.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients, apart from the mint and bring to the boil. Place the chicken thighs on top and pour in any juices. Cover and cook for 1½ hrs, until the meat is tender and the sauce thickened. Can be cooled and frozen at this stage for up to 1 month. Defrost thoroughly in the fridge, then gently warm through. Scatter with fresh mint leaves and serve with couscous or rice.
