Ingredients

• 1 cup of pearl barley
• 2 cups of water
• 2 cups of chicken stock
• 1/2 lb. of cherry tomatoes
• 5 oz. of yellow teardrop tomatoes
• 4 single chicken breast fillets (about 1.5 oz.)
• 1/2 tsp. of coarsely ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped fresh basil
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 Tbsp. of Dijon mustard

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• In medium-size saucepan over low heat, cook barley with water and stock, uncovered, until most of the liquid is absorbed (about 50 min), stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, roast tomatoes in oven on baking-paper-lined oven tray, uncovered, until just browned and softened (about 20 min).
• Cook chicken on heated lightly oiled grill plate (or grill or barbecue) until browned both sides and cooked through.
• Stir tomatoes, pepper, basil and onion gently into barley. Serve chicken, dolloped with mustard, with pilaf.
• Tips : If tomatoes are too large, halve before roasting.
