Sharing the Wealth: Fruited Chicken and Barley

At the request of Chelsea of Roots and Rings (an amazing blog for those who have not yet met it)

Fruited Chicken and Barley

from Cooking Light: 5 Ingredient  15 minute Cookbook

1 1/4 cups pearl barley, uncooked

6 cups water

2 pounds skinned chicken thighs

1 lg onion, coarsely chopped

1 (8oz ) package dried mixed fruit

1 tbs salt-free Caribbean spice rub

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

Combine all ingredients in a 4 quart slow cooker; stir well

Cover and cook on high setting 4 hrs or until chicken is tender

Or, cover and cook on high setting 1 hr; reduce to low setting and cook 7 hrs

Neither my husband nor I like spicy food so I substituted nutmeg and poultry seasoning in place of the Caribbean spice rub.

Enjoy!!
