Tandoori Chicken with Lentil & Cucumber Rice

Juicy, spice-marinated chicken thigh meets a fibre-boosted rice. This one's a great dinner option if you're after better sleep. Chicken is rich in tryptophan, an amino acid your body uses to produce serotonin and melatonin, the hormones that help regulate your sleep-wake cycle. The lentils bring magnesium and B6, both of which support that same tryptophan-to-melatonin conversion and help calm the nervous system, while the yoghurt adds calcium, which helps your brain put that tryptophan to use. The jasmine rice's carbohydrates can also help tryptophan cross into the brain more effectively, and the cucumber and lemon keep the meal light and hydrating, so you're not going to bed overly full.
