I was looking for a new recipe for chicken when I discovered a dish I thought my husband might like. After making a few changes and additions to fit our preferences, I had this zesty chili simmering on the stovetop. It was great! Leftovers store well in the freezer.

CHICKEN AND BARLEY CHILI

I found this recipe on the back of a box of barley and thought it was a winner. I've tweaked it a bit, naturally, and expect you to do the same. (Recipes are like the pirate code, right? "Mostly guidelines")

Ingredients

1 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups water
1/2 cup barley
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can black beans, undrained
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies (or fresh if you've got them)

1 -2 teaspoon cumin
1/2-1 teaspoon oregano
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
salt (add to taste) (optional)

Steps:

In a 4-qt saucepan or Dutch oven, cook onion and garlic in oil till onion is tender.
Add remaining ingredients except chicken.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low.
Cover and simmer 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water or stock if it seems too thick.
Add cooked chicken; continue simmering 5-10 minutes till chicken is heated through and barley is tender.
Taste to adjust seasonings - I'm sure I add more chili powder and cumin than this calls for, maybe a touch of oregano.
Salt is up to you - always easier to add it at the end than start with too much.

"A friend gave me this recipe using wheat, which I replaced with barley," notes Marv Salter of West Hills, California. The barley makes this dish a hearty meal for a chilly day.
