2. Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish over medium heat.
3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until softened and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
4. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and sauté for another 3-5 minutes until softened.
5. Stir in 1 cup of pearl barley, 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
6. Cover the casserole dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the barley is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Check halfway through and stir gently if needed.
