Meanwhile, brown sausage in skillet, remove from skillet and set aside. Brown chicken in drippings in skillet, stir sausage into mixture in casserole. Place chicken atop lentil mixture, sprinkle with a little salt, pepper and paprika. Bake covered, in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until chicken and lentils are tender. Remove bay leaves before serving. Makes 6 servings.

Note: I sometimes make this ahead and freeze it and then just reheat in the oven for a wonderful one dish meal!
