Instructions

Cook pearl barley

1 Cook pearl barley

  • Rinse and drain the pearl barley.
  • Bring a small pot of water to boil with the stock cube.
  • Add the pearl barley and boil for 20-25 min until tender but chewy.
  • Remove from the heat and drain.
  • Allow to cool before mixing into the salad.
Tip! Cooking barley follows the same methodology as pasta, and is cooked until tender or to your liking.
Prep

  • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
  • Roughly chop half the capers. Keep the other half whole.
  • Peel and finely chop the garlic.

  • Mix well to combine.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
Fry chicken

4 Fry chicken

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Fry the chicken breasts for 5-7 min on either side until golden and cooked through.
Tip! If the chicken is browning too quickly without cooking all the way through, add a splash of water to the pan, reduce the heat and cover with a lid until fully cooked.

  • Add a drizzle of olive oil and mix well.
