3 1/2 pounds broiling chicken --quartered
3 pounds mixed root vegetables
peeled and cut up
2 medium onions --peeled and cut in
2 small cooking apples --peeled

2/3 cup dried green lentils
1 cup apple juice
1 1/4 cups chicken broth

Preheat oven to 375F. Select at least a 6 quart ovenproof pot large
enough in diameter to hold chicken in a single layer. Heat oil in pot
over medium heat. Brown chicken in hot oil for 20 minutes, turning to
brown both sides. Drain on paper towels. Add root vegetables and onion

brown. Add apples, lentils, apple juice, and chicken broth. Mix well to
cover lentils with liquid. Bring to a boil. Season to taste with salt
and pepper. Add chicken, skin side up. Cover and bake at 375F for 1
hour until juices run clear when chicken is pierces with a fork and
lentils are tender.

Note: To thicken pan juices, puree a few of the cooked vegetables with
some of the pan juices in a blender. Stir back into remaining pan juices.
