How to Make Babzy's Chicken And Barley Chili

  1. Dice 1 medium onion, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 bell pepper (any color). Sauté in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup barley, 4 cups chicken broth, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until the barley is tender and the chili has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with your favorite toppings before serving (sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro are great options!).
