Curried Chicken and Lentil Chili (Vegetarian/Vegan Modifications too!)

What do I do with all of these ingredients?

 Ingredients

1 lb. ground chicken

1 lb. lentils, rinsed (I used brown lentils)

64 oz. chicken broth (you can use stock)

1 15oz. can diced tomatoes

1 15oz. can tomato sauce

2 large potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-2 Tbsp. curry powder (depending on your taste)

2 tsp. cumin

1 t. garlic powder

1/2 t. ground ginger

1 t. garam masala (optional, if you have on hand)

2 t. chili powder

Directions

Brown chicken (I usually throw in some salt and pepper) in a Dutch oven and drain excess grease.  Return chicken to the pot and add all of the other ingredients.  Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer.  Cover and cook 25-30 minutes until lentils are tender.

Vegetarian/Vegan Modifications

Finished product! 

Omit chicken and substitute vegetable broth/stock for the chicken.  Add all of the ingredients to a Dutch oven.  Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer.  Cover and cook 25-30 minutes until lentils are tender.  You could add some more vegetables such as, peas.
