Instructions

1. 1.
   Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the oil to become hot but not smoking, ensuring the chicken won't stick and will achieve a nice sear.
2. 2.
   Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink inside and has developed a golden crust on the outside.
3. 3.
   Add the cooked lentils to the skillet. Stir gently to combine them with the chicken. The lentils should be well-drained to avoid adding extra moisture which might make the dish soggy.
4. 4.
   Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary over the chicken and lentils. Stir everything together to ensure the rosemary is well-distributed. The rosemary will infuse the dish with a fragrant aroma that complements the earthiness of the lentils.
5. 5.
   Continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are warmed through and the flavors meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed. Serve hot for a comforting, high-protein meal.
