1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), cut into 10 pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2/3 cup pearl barley
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with a browning option, brown chicken in oil, 8 to 10 minutes; transfer to a plate. (If your slow cooker doesn't have a browning option, just remove skin from the chicken.) Add barley, broth, wine, onion, and garlic to pot. Season with salt and pepper. Place chicken on top. Cover and cook on low until chicken is cooked through, 2 hours.
  • Stir peas and tarragon into barley; season with salt and pepper; and transfer to a platter. Arrange chicken on bed of barley and serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN BARLEY SALAD

Wonderful salad/main dish that we often go for on a hot summer evening. Serve with crusty bread and a glass of wine :) The olive oil accounts for 20% of calories in this recipe - for a lighter version you can substitute some of the olive oil with lemon juice. UPDATE June 28 - I agree with both reviewers - the recipe is better with less oil. I am reducing the oil and increasing the lemon in the recipe - so pleae note that the new version reflects this change
