Roasted Vegetable Barley Bowl with Grilled Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup barley
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the vegetables are roasting, cook the barley according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture onto the chicken breasts.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and nicely charred. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked barley among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted vegetables and sliced grilled chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy!
