Lemon Herb Chicken with Lentil Tabbouleh

Lemon Herb Chicken with Lentil Tabbouleh

Recipe by Rocsi, Nutritionist specialising in Menstrual Health

Cooking with herbs and spices is one of the simplest and healthiest ways to eat well. Take this dish. The chicken is marinated in lemon and herbs, while the lentil tabbouleh is packed with fresh parsley, mint, cucumber, and tomato. Bright, satisfying, and genuinely nourishing, it is the kind of meal that feels light yet keeps you full for hours.

Parsley is far more than a garnish here. It is one of the richest dietary sources of apigenin, a flavonoid studied for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Lentils are rich in plant protein and fibre, linked to blood sugar regulation, weight management, and overall gut health, with studies suggesting they can meaningfully lower postprandial blood glucose response. Together, they turn a simple plate into a genuinely complete meal.

Use clean, AquaTru-filtered water to cook and cool the lentils. They take on the flavour of their cooking water, so filtered water helps everything taste fresh.
