  1. Delicious chili! I made exactly as directed and was very pleased with the results! Nice and saucy, but not soupy.
     
  2. This was a quick and very easy meal to make, I used chicken thighs I skinned and deboned them myself. I used the bones to make the broth and I used the broth to cook my barley, I also used fire roasted diced tomatoes, dice jalapenos,minced garlic, 8oz can of tomato sauce, and I added a half cup of beer to inhanes the flavor. I omitted the can due to my daughter having food allergies. It turned out great.
     
  3. Yummy. I only used about 1/3 cup salsa and regular barley. No chicken broth so I just made my own by simmering a bunch of veggie chunks and seasonings for about an hour. Then I added the chicken breasts and simmered them for about 25 minutes. It was really thick and tasty. DH loved it! Thanks for posting.
     
  4. I made a TON of changes - and LOVED the result. Used regular pearl barley which required 4 cups of water and 40 minutes simmer. I also minimized use of canned ingredients. Fresh tomatoes... about 5 medium, more tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, garlic and spices for the salsa, 1 seeded jalapeno, 1 seeded pablano pepper, about 3 tsp of ancho chili (no chili powder in the cabinet) some extra garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, mexican oregano to make chili powder substitute, mesquite smoke powder, adobo spice, and finally chipotle powder for extra kick. I also used about 5 med corn cobs for corn - which admittedly, was a bit much. Stuck with the 1 can of rinsed beans. I will definitely be making this again and have these notes as support for next time. Thanks for posting the original recipe base! :)
     
  5. This is SO good. I made changes, all of which I will do again. I used a whole carton of chicken broth to replace the chicken broth/water, and a can of chicken in place of the fresh. Instead of chili powder, I used some Korean hot sauce. I also added adobo seasoning. Awesome!

  2. Delicious! Very easy and tasty!! Changes: Used frozen corn instead of canned corn and used all canned chicken broth instead of water. The next day the barley soaked up all the liquid so I added 2 cups extra chicken broth. Thanks for posting!
