Lemon Chicken Barley Bowls
4 servings · Prep 20 min · Cook 40 min
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pearl barley, rinsed
- 3 cups water
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Method
- Bring barley and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer partially covered for 30–40 minutes until tender with a slight chew. Drain any remaining water and fluff.
- Meanwhile, pound chicken to an even 3/4-inch thickness. Rub with oil, salt, and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes per side until the thickest part reaches 165°F. Rest 5 minutes and slice.
- Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and parsley. If needed, add 1 teaspoon water at a time until the sauce drizzles easily.
- Divide barley among four bowls. Add chicken and cucumber, then spoon sauce over each portion. Serve promptly while the barley and chicken are warm.
Kitchen note: Even chicken thickness helps the center cook before the edges become dry. Use a clean board for the cooked slices.
Substitution: Replace chicken with 2 cups cooked white beans, warmed separately, or substitute pearled farro for barley using its package timing.
Storage: Refrigerate components at 40°F or below within 2 hours. Use within 3–4 days; reheat cooked components to 165°F.
Ingredient allergens: barley (gluten), milk
Roasted Carrot Chickpea Couscous Bowls
4 servings · Prep 20 min · Cook 30 min
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots, cut into 1/2-inch diagonal slices
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and dried
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup couscous
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water for sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Method
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss carrots and chickpeas with 2 tablespoons oil, cumin, and salt on a rimmed sheet. Roast 25–30 minutes, turning halfway, until carrots are tender and browned.
- Bring 1 cup water and remaining oil to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Whisk tahini, lemon juice, and the 2 tablespoons sauce water until smooth. The mixture may tighten first, then loosen as water is incorporated.
- Divide couscous among bowls and top with roasted carrots and chickpeas. Drizzle with sauce and scatter mint over each serving.
Kitchen note: Dry chickpeas thoroughly before roasting. Moisture makes them steam instead of developing a lightly crisp exterior.
Substitution: Use small cauliflower florets instead of carrots, checking after 20 minutes. Quinoa can replace couscous when cooked separately.
Storage: Refrigerate at 40°F or below within 2 hours. Use within 3–4 days; reheat cooked components to 165°F.
Ingredient allergens: wheat, sesame
