I don't like beans so this recipe is a great alternative to regular chili. I really like how the flavors blend in this recipe. I have made this a few times & follow the recipe as given with no complaints. This is great to have on a crisp fall or winter day.
Right, I did make a few changes - added no water, fresh tomatoes not tinned, a fresh chilli, crushed fresh garlic, a few chopped jalapeños and used about two cups of rice instead of barley. Cooked in pressure cooker - cooked the chicken, onions and garlic etc in the stock, then added the rest of stuff, put the lid on for about 15 minutes. , ended up with a spicy rice dish that was spicy but not hot. Would def make again, even try it how it was meant to be as a stew!
We enjoyed this a lot even though I made it in the crockpot and used regular barley.
This was such a nice change from the norm - and gobbled right up and my guest asking to take some home. Easy to make and rave reviews!
