RECIPE: Smothered Chicken with Barley

19 years ago

Hi all

Here's my absolute favorite Barley recipe, for Smothered Chicken and Barley. Its easy, really nutritious, and most importantly, delicious! I've never served it to anyone who hasn't liked it...

Smothered Chicken and Barley

2 tsp cumin

1.5 tsp chili powder

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cayenne

1/2 tsp mexican oregano

6 chicken thighs, skinned

1&1/2 cups chopped onion

1 chopped red bell pepper

1 Tbs low sodium soy sauce

3&1/2 cups low salt chicken stock

1&1/4 cups pearl barley

1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes

Combine spices in bowl and rub chicken with half of the mixture. ( I think I usually boost the amount of spices in this, so add them liberally)

In large heavy pot add some oil and brown chicken. Remove chicken from skillet, and add onion, and bell pepper, saute until slightly browneed.

Add broth, barley, tomatoes, and remaining spice mixture and stir well to scrape up all the browned chicken bits. Add chicken back to the pot, nestling it into the barley / veggie mixture. Cover, and simmer about an hour until the chicken is done.

Serve with a big sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

YUM!

Emily
