INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
½ cup cooked Pearl Barley (100g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 medium Carrot (61g)
1 stalk Celery (40g)
½ cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (120g)
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of mixed fresh herbs.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken on both sides for about 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes until cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, add the low-sodium chicken broth, cooked pearl barley, diced carrot, and chopped celery. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Allow the pilaf to simmer for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together. Stir in additional herbs, salt, and pepper to taste.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a hearty serving of the barley pilaf. Garnish with a light drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs if desired.
