Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 ¾ cups purple prairie barley
- 2 carrots, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large leek or 1 large potato, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp. of lemon juice
- ¼ cup of chopped dill
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp. butter
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- parmesan cheese, optional
Directions
In a bowl, dredge your bite-size pieces of chicken in salt, pepper, and the ½ cup of all purpose flour. In a large pot, melt 2 tbsp. of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add your coated chicken to the pot and cook until golden brown on the outside.
Once the chicken is cooked, melt 1 tbsp. of butter in the pot and then add in your carrots. Cook the carrots and chicken for 3 minutes. Then, add in your leek or potato and minced garlic. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add your purple prairie barley into the pot, season with salt and pepper, and stir the barley into the mixture for 1 minute over medium heat.
Add in your chicken stock and water. Bring the pot to a boil. Then, turn your heat to low, add a lid to the pot, and allow the pot to simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add dill, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir and cook for 10 more minutes or until the stew reaches the desired consistency.
Spoon stew into bowls and garnish with parmesan cheese right before eating.
