I found this great recipe on the back of my box of Quaker Quick Barley. It goes together quickly and has a wonderful taste. It's healthy too!

Time 45m

Yield 1 cup, 11 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomatoes, diced, undrained (you can use seasoned tomatoes)
1 (16 ounce) jar of your favorite salsa
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fat free chicken broth (I like to use the reduced sodium)
1 cup quick-cooking barley
3 cups water
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn or 1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn mixed with chopped peppers, undrained
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cooked and diced (3 cups)
cheddar cheese (optional)
reduced-fat sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine first 7 ingredients (tomatoes through cumin).
  • Over high heat bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add beans, corn and chicken; increase heat to high until chili comes to a boil.
  • Cover and reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until barley is tender.
  • If upon standing the chili becomes too thick, add more chicken broth or water until chili is desired consistency.
  • If desired, top each bowl of chili with a little shredded cheddar and a dollop of sour cream.

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I found it to be a bit bland and lacking in flavor.
