Here I have found countless recipes and since you are hearing from the "normal" people (not celebrity chefs) people tend to only post their tried and true recipes. I think this is where I found this one - but who knows. I find recipes, then put then into Word documents in every category you can imagine.
As I was cruising through my Entrees document (so far 85 recipes long) I came across this one and decided to try it.
Adam and I both loved it (Adam really likes barley), it is very easy to prepare and turned out great. I love the put in the pot and cook for 40 minutes - no last minute prep.
Enjoy!
Smothered Chicken & Barley
1 tsp ground cumin
¾ tsp chili powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp dried mint flakes
¼ tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp crushed chili flakes
4 boneless chicken breasts
½ tsp olive oil
1 ½ cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped red pepper
1 tbsp Soy sauce
3 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 ¼ cup uncooked pearl barley
1 (398 ml) can diced tomatoes
6 tbsp chopped green onions
Combine cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, mint flakes, garlic powder and crushed chili flakes in a small bowl. Rub the chicken with half the mixture.
Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 1 minute on each side or until chicken is browned. Remove chicken; set aside.
Add onion, red pepper and Soy Sauce to skillet; cook over med-high heat 3 minutes or until vegetables are lightly browned. Add chicken broth, barley, diced tomatoes and remaining spice mixture. Stirring well. Add chicken to skillet, nestling into veggie mixture. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer for 40-50 minutes or until chicken is done and barley had reached desired tenderness.
