Spiced Chicken and Barley

Spiced Chicken with Barley

I don’t often cook with this combination of spices nor do I often make barley for our starch/carb of the meal. I think that is going to change! Barley is definitely underutilised, despite being high in fiber and having a tasty, chewy texture. I loved the combination of the spices with red peppers and tomatoes which gave a very warm, hearty and intense flavor. Definitely a keeper.

One of the best things about this dish is that it can be very easily adjusted to suit vegetarians. The chicken is good but it’ s not essential by any means — exchange it for some cannellini or great northern beans, even lentils, and you’ll have a great dish.
