Recipe for Slow Cooker Indian Spiced Lentils and Chicken

I haven't used my slow cooker for a while but it's been hectic lately, catching up from my trip back to Atlanta to meet Miss E. (my first grandchild) and planning for our upcoming vacation (Ireland, Scotland, and England).  So, a perfect time to pull it out.  I love plopping all the ingredients in the crock, turning it on and not thinking about it until it is time to serve.  Continuing on my Indian flavors kick, this comfort food recipe hit the spot.

100th Post! Recipe for Bacon and Cumin Lentils

I just noticed that with this recipe, I have 100 posts on my blog!  Woo Hoo!

ANYway, we were getting ready to head to the mainland for the holidays so I wanted to use up what was in the fridge and pantry, including some lentils.  This lentil recipe is another inspiration taken from the pages of “The Flavor Bible”, by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg.   The smoky flavors of the bacon and the cumin combine with the lentils, onion and green pepper for a delightful side dish.
