Chicken with Barley and Mushrooms
Leo Gong
Hedi Gerken developed this one-pan dinner for her husband, who loves the nutty flavor of barley. Prep and Cook Time: 45 minutes.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Remove chicken from pan, then add remaining oil, mushrooms, and onion. Cook until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushroom mixture to a bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Add wine to hot pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape browned bits off bottom. Add 1 1/2 cups broth and barley and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until most of liquid is absorbed and barley is tender, about 25 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in remaining 2 cups broth, sherry, carrots, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook 10 minutes. Return chicken and mushroom mixture to pan, add zucchini and parsley, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Stir in parmesan and serve.
Step 4

We thought this was a good, solid recipe, but not something we would serve to friends. Made half the recipe, but used the full 8 ounces of mushrooms. Still had some leftover, which will make a nice lunch.

I just made this for the first time last week. You have to watch the barley because I ran out of liquids before the 30 minutes was up. Next time I will add more mushrooms, but overall it was outstanding. My fiance and I loved it - he kept going back for more and can't wait until we make it again. You don't need to serve anything with this - it has it all - meat, starch and veggies. Thanks.

I loved this recipe! I didn't have sherry on hand, but otherwise made this as the recipe stated. It was hearty and flavorful...and was just as delicious the next day as leftovers . I will make this often.
