Ingredients
- 3 slices Bacon
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Onion Yellow, chopped
- 1 cup Carrots Cut ¼-inch-thick diagonally
- 1 cup Celery Cut ¼-inch-thick diagonally
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Cloves Minced, about 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 4 Chicken Breast Skinless, boneless, (about 6 ounces)
- 4 cups Chicken Broth Low-sodium
- 1 cup Barley Uncooked, quick-cooking
- 8 ounces Baby Spinach
- 2 Tablespoons Parsley Chopped
Equipment
- Dutch Oven
- Meat Thermometer
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium until crisp, about 6 minutes, turning once. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, reserving drippings in Dutch oven. Crumble bacon, and set aside.
- Add olive oil to drippings in Dutch oven; increase heat to medium-high. Add yellow onion, carrots, and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, kosher salt, and pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add chicken and broth to Dutch oven. Cook on medium-high until broth begins to boil, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in barley, and cook until chicken is cooked through and a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion reads 165°F, about 8 to 10 minutes more. Remove chicken, shred into large pieces, and return to Dutch oven. Add spinach, and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in parsley; top each serving with crumbled bacon.
