The ingredients for Garlic Balsamic Lentils and Chicken are:

1 c. Lentils, dry (uncooked)
2 tsp chicken soup base (paste or powder)
14.5 oz. (whole tub) Trader Joe's Mirepoix Mix (carrots, onions and celery)
4 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 c. onions (for chicken)
4 tbsp garlic
20 oz. Chicken breast, boneless & skinless
olive oil as needed to sautee (I estimated about 2 tbsp)

Here is how you make Garlic Balsamic Lentils and Chicken:

Rinse lentils and place in a pot with 2 cups of water and 2 tsp chicken base. Bring to boil and reduce to a simmer (they take approx. 35 minutes to cook). While lentils are cooking, sautee mirepoix and 2 tbsp garlic in a pan with olive oil. When the veggies are cooked about half way, pour balsamic vinegar in pan and let the veggies cook in it for for a minute or 2 (just to help them absorb the flavor). Pour this mixture in with the lentils and let them continue to cook. I put a lid on the pot at this point.Cut chicken in approx. 1/2 in. cubes and sautee with olive oil with 2 tbsp garlic and 1/4c onions ( this will add some good flavor to the chicken). The chicken and lentils should be done around the same time. I portion them seperately for accuracy.
