Curried Chicken, Lentil & Mushroom Skillet image

A gluten-free, comfort food dinner, completed in one skillet. (The secret is a hint of coconut! I use 'young coconut juice with pulp' to save on unnecessary sugar & calories. The plain yogurt stirred in at the end is not a necessity, but it does add a little tang and makes the sauce look nice & rich.
