Steps:
- Bring water, onion, thyme, chile, peppercorns, and garlic to a gentle simmer in a medium pot. Add chicken, and simmer until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, and let cool slightly.
- Bring poaching liquid to a boil, and cook until reduced to 3 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a medium saucepan, pressing on solids to extract liquid. Discard solids.
- Bring liquid to a boil. Add barley, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and barley is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, and let cool.
- Shred chicken into bite-size pieces. Toss with barley, scallions, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Gently stir in figs, and serve immediately.

[email protected]This salad was a disaster! The barley was undercooked and the chicken was raw. The figs were also rotten. I threw the whole thing in the trash.

[email protected]I didn't really like this salad. The barley was too chewy and the chicken was too dry. The figs were also a bit too sweet for my taste.

[email protected]This salad was just okay. The barley was a bit chewy and the chicken was a bit dry. The figs were a nice touch, but overall the salad was just average.

[email protected]This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some fresh herbs. The barley was also a bit overcooked.

[email protected]I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a little bit of crumbled feta cheese to the top before serving. It adds a nice salty flavor that really complements the sweetness of the figs.
