I’ve had a bag of barley in my pantry for some time now. I kept meaning to make a chicken and barley stew recipe that I found online. Late this week I came down with a cold, and here it is Saturday and I’m still feeling crappy. I looked in my pantry and decided to give the barley a whirl. I just used items I had on hand. Here’s what I did:
- 4 cups fat free chicken broth
- 1/2 Cup organic pearled barley
- 1 bag frozen mixed veggies
- 1/2 bag frozen onions
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 frozen chicken breasts (thin cut)
- 1 tbsp basil
- 2 bay leaves
Cook the garlic and onions in EVOO till fragrant and translucent.
Assemble all other ingredients in crock pot. Cook for 3 hours on low. Enjoy.
