Ingredients

  • 140g Chicken Thigh
  • 150g pearl barley
  • 80g spinach
  • 80g mushrooms
  • 5g olive oil
  • 15g lemon juice
  • 6g garlic
  • 30g feta
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 20g red onion

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the spinach and mushrooms, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the pearl barley for 25-30 minutes until plump and chewy, then drain.

  3. 3

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano into a dressing. Crumble over the feta when serving.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the spinach and mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: pearl barley first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the red onion.
