1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
3 boneless chicken breasts, cut into large nugget size pieces
1/2 tsp olive or canola oil
Cooking spray
1.5 c chopped onion
1 c chopped red bell pepper
1 TBS low-sodium soy sauce

1-1/4 c uncooked pearl barley
1 (14.5-oz) can diced tomatoes -- drained
6 TBS chopped green onions (optional)

Directions
Combine the first 7 ingredients in a small bowl, and rub chicken with half

Need to dig out my cup measure... Don't use it often as most Euro
recipes are in grams. Still, there's no such thing as too much onion or
pepper...

Hm... I wonder if this would also work with buckwheat or brown rice? I
could then do it for my coeliac friend, and Big Sis, who is allergic to
gluten but isn't coeliac...

I think it totally would. I loooooove barley, but I'm sur any grain would be
fine as long as you know how to adjust cooking times (which I don't).
