MOROCCAN Chicken and Lentils (Crockpot)

This is sooo easy to assemble. You throw everything into the pot (don't thaw the chicken tenders). You know how with some crockpot recipes you have to brown the protein on the stove BEFORE you can put it in the crockpot (more stuff to wash) well not this recipe - its easy. Nutritional info follows:

Note: I followed the 1 hour on high and then found it was done after 3 hours on low. I have a new crockpot so maybe it heats hotter. I hope you like it!
