Description
This barley salad with chicken and vegetables is a fresh and nutritious dish, perfect for summer. Pearled barley, light and digestible, goes perfectly with tender chicken and crunchy vegetables such as carrots, peppers and peas. An addition of fresh spring onions and sweet corn completes the picture of flavors and colors. The preparation is quick and easy, ideal for a light lunch or an informal dinner. I often prepare it for picnics or outings, because it is easy to transport and stays fresh for a long time. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper are enough to enhance all the flavors of this delicious salad. It can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Preparation (6 steps)
Cook the barley
Pour 1 liter of water into the bowl. Add a pinch of salt. Set 15 Min./100°C/Stufe 1. Add 250g of pearled barley and cook for the time indicated on the package, checking the cooking. Drain the barley and let it cool.
Cut the pepper
Cut 1 red bell pepper into small cubes. Set aside.
Cut the carrots
Cut 2 carrots into small cubes. Set aside.
Cook the chicken in a pan
Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a pan. Cook 300g of chicken breast for 3-4 minutes per side over high heat, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and cut into thin slices. Set aside.
Sauté the vegetables
In the same pan where the chicken was cooked, add the diced carrots, 2 sliced spring onions, 150g of peas and the diced pepper. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes over medium heat, until tender but still crisp.
Assemble the salad
In a large bowl, mix the cooled barley, sautéed vegetables, 150g of corn and the sliced chicken. Season with salt, pepper and 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
