Mushroom Barley Chicken
Serves: 4-6 servings
 
Ingredients
  • Mushroom Barley Chicken
  • 6 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (and/or drumsticks)
  • 1 ½ cups barley
  • ½ (14 oz) can Easy Onions (frozen onion cubes will also work)
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus additional for sprinkling
  • Dried thyme, for sprinkling
  • Black pepper, for sprinkling
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • 2 ½ cups water
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Place barley in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Mix in onions. Top with mushrooms and season with 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add chicken on top of mushroom/barley mixture. Pour white wine over chicken. Sprinkle chicken with salt, thyme, and pepper. Pour water into the pan on the side (not over the chicken).
  4. Cover tightly and bake for 3 hours. You can set a timer for the oven to go off after 3 hours, and then let the chicken stay in the hot oven until dinnertime. It will stay hot and ready to enjoy for another couple of hours after the oven has turned off!
