This is terrific!
This was good and wholesome, but could be improved upon immensely. First off, the chicken could be marinated prior to sauteeing. I also added some balsamic vinegar after cooking, but wish I would have thought of it while I was cooking. I'll make this again because it's so healthy with my modifications.
Really liked this! A different take on stir fry. Will definitely add this to my rotation of regulars.

I used rice instead of barley, followed the recipe otherwise and liked all the ingredients. However, I felt it lacked a cohesive flavor. Would increase the herbs, salt & pepper next time. My husband, however liked it as is.
This recipe was a mixed bag. I liked it, but it didn't go over well with the younger members of my family, who are picky-eaters. I mis-read the recipe and served it with bulgur, and it tasted pretty good. It would be a good summer recipe.
