Chicken And Barley Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onion, barley, and pine nuts. Cook and stir until barley is lightly browned. Mix in green onions, mushrooms, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a 2 quart casserole dish, and stir in the vegetable broth.
• Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until liquid has been absorbed and barley is tender.

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and paprika.
• In a wide frying pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the chicken and cook until well browned on both sides. Add a little more butter if needed. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, melt the remaining butter. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft. Remove mushrooms from pan and set aside.
• Add barley and onion to pan. Cook, stirring, until onion is soft. Add basil and one 14 oz. can chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then cover the pan, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
• Stir in the mushrooms and arrange the chicken pieces over the barley mixture. Pour the other can of chicken broth and sherry over all. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Gently mix in artichoke hearts and continue to simmer until barley is tender (about 10 more minutes).
• To serve, skim off any excess fat and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leeks and carrots and cook until just beginning to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, chicken thighs and barley. Cover the pot, increase the heat to high and bring to a rapid simmer. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 16 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a bowl. Add the escarole to the pot. Shred the chicken with two forks and return to the pot. Simmer until the barley is tender, about 12 more minutes.
• Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk in the Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir the soup slowly in a clockwise direction and slowly drizzle in the egg mixture. Once you've added all the egg, remove the soup from the heat; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the first 8 ingredients.
• Bring to a boil; lower heat, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
• Transfer hot barley mixture to an ungreased 2-quart baking dish.
• Place the chicken on top of barley mixture.
• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
• Bake, covered, in a preheated 350° oven for 30-35 minutes or until barley is tender and chicken is no longer pink.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil.
• Add the barley, decrease heat to low, cover, and simmer until the barley is tender, about 45 minutes.
• Drain in a coarse-mesh sieve.
• Meanwhile, season the chicken with the rosemary, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper.
• In a large, heavy ovenproof pot, warm the oil over med-high heat.
• Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes total.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Pour off all but 1 T fat from the pan and add the celery, yellow onion, garlic, and pine nuts.
• Saute until vegetables are soft, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the barley, mushrooms, and broth.
• Adjust the seasoning, and return the chicken to the pot.
• Bake, uncovered, until the mushrooms are tender and the chicken meat slips easily from the bones, 15-20 minutes.
• During the last 5 minutes, sprinkle with the green onions.
• Serve directly from the pot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350.
• Grease a 2 quart baking dish.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
• Add onion and celery, cook and stir till tender.
• Add barley, cook about 2 minutes or till light golden brown, stirring frequently.
• In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients.
• Add barley mixture, mix well.
• Pour into prepared baking dish.
• Cover and cook about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
• Stir well before serving.

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:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Put pearl barley in an oven proof casserole dish.
• Saute the onions, carrots and celery in a little bit of oil (or use a cooking spray, I do) until the onions are tender.
• Add to the casserole dish and give it a stir to mix in with the pearl barley.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and give another stir.
• Cover and bake in the oven for about an hour. Keep checking every 25 minutes or so just to make sure it isn't going dry. It is ready when the barley has bulked up and gone tender from absorbing the liquid.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Heat oil in a pan, add onion, garlic and chicken pieces, fry for 3 - 4 minutes until onion is clear and chicken is browned.
• Add carrot, mushrooms, barley, tarragon and stock, stirring to combine.
• Transfer to a large oven dish, cover and bake for 1 hour until barley is tender.
