Chicken And Barley Chili Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine first 7 ingredients (tomatoes through cumin).
• Over high heat bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low.
• Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add beans, corn and chicken; increase heat to high until chili comes to a boil.
• Cover and reduce heat to low.
• Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until barley is tender.
• If upon standing the chili becomes too thick, add more chicken broth or water until chili is desired consistency.
• If desired, top each bowl of chili with a little shredded cheddar and a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute onion and green pepper in oil until tender. Add the water, tomato sauce, broth, tomatoes, barley, chili powder, cumin and garlic powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add chicken. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes longer or until barley is tender.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in flour. Add the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour or until barley is tender.

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.

Steps:

• Combine water, chicken thighs, and bay leaves in a large stock pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, place a cover on the pot, and cook at a simmer until the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes.
• Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool. Remove and discard bones, skin, and fat from chicken. Cut remaining meat into bite-sized pieces.
• Cool broth until the fat congeals on the surface. Skim and discard fat.
• Return soup to heat; add carrots, celery, onion, pearl barley, bay leaves, chicken bouillon, poultry seasoning, sage, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat to low, place cover on the pot, and simmer until the barley is cooked and the vegetables are tender, 60 to 90 minutes. Stir lemon juice into the soup just before serving.
